HOLY HUMIDITY (more than yesterday for sure and yesterday it was 70%).  I have no idea why it feels even worse than last weeks humidity runs.  This run was sucking the life out of my SWEAT RATE.  I lost 3 pounds on a 14 miler!!!  I was PURELY saturated and sticky.  I ran to AF high school and along the 1/2 route but instead of going towards the canyon at the fork I turned right to the water house at the TOP of all the ROLLERS.  Steep incline to the turn around.  Huffing puffing perspiring.  AP not comparable to effort for the way there mostly uphill-- 8:14.  AP total only 7:59 for all 14 miles.  My legs just DID NOT want  to run fast for very long.  I was without music and  had one water stop.  I seriously needed some carbs.  I am sort of dieting lately to get to a better weight for the races--mainly SGM.  Instead of 4 or 5 chocolate chip cookies I would USUALLY eat when homemade ones are made, I ate one.  Such self control : D.  For now.  But diets and lots of miles don't go hand and hand.  So I will see how it goes.  If I have to eat more, I will.  So far I have lost two pounds.  Almost 2.5.  I am at 127.5 in the morning.  I should get to 122 or 123.  After my run I gulped down powerade ZERO and ate oatmeal, whole wheat toast with almond butter and honey, OJ, milk and a couple of choc. chips just now.  Iced in river for 10 minutes.  Muscles already feel better.  My house is all sticky.  Time to shower and go to the dentist.

AMEN on the sticky! There is a reason I live in the desert and I'm tired of the sticky!! You did a great job on the run - pace and miles! You just keep getting better :) You definitely deserved that breakfast!

I am so over the humidity for sure! Nice running today, and I say NO to diets.

Humidity is mean mean mean!!! Great AP out in it if you ask me!! I've found with dieting it's hard at first but then after a while your body gets used to it and you stop feeling weak and hungry(as long as you are still being reasonable an eating enough).

You should have seen my hair! My ponytail shrunk about two inches in the humidity! Darn curly hair!

Nice job! Glad you got in the LONG run and glad I did not join you. You are way to freakin' fast for me. WAY.
