Sunday's run was almost under 80°F after some heavy rains this morning. But it was really steamy with foggy glasses and soaked, squishy shoes.

This week's highlight is the local 4-miler on the 4th. This race is always hot, so my times have been pretty mediocre. The last couple of years were over 26 minutes and my best is only a 24:57 in 2003. My Tuesday morning tempo runs have been pretty good, so hopefully I'll make it under 25 minutes this year.
