It IS the heat AND the humidity.....

Today's stats 84 degrees and 73% Humidity at the start ....

Today was one for the books. this is my third year with USAFit/Philly and we've had some interesting weather but today is by far the most extreme. The rainy cold tour of the valley forge loop last year was the opposite extreme (and I am thinking almost fondly of it now...lol)

Originally we planned an out and back to the 6 (Past the CVS). changed that and went to the 4 and back first. That gave everyone a chance to reload water and gatorade bottles (and rest a minute or two). After that most of us went out the the dogpark where there was more water and restrooms. And then back again.
I'm really happy to say that everyone appears to have managed their hydration and electrolyte balance well. I think we all earned a badge of honor today and i'm sure there are more than a few tired folks out there but we did it!

Personally, I want to thank all those who helped me through today. that's really everyone because I need this group to get me up and out on Saturday morinngs. But special shoutouts today to JEannie and Jen for the 2.5 and 1's on the first out and back. It was the perfect ratio and I so enjoyed the company and conversation. Thanks to the voices in my head for the next 2.75 miles to the dogpark. And thanks to Mark and Anne for the company and push to finish the last 2.75.

Until next week.... :)
