I think I drowned my GPS watch Wednesday evening. I can't coax it back to life.
Saturday's race was tough. The morning low for Clute was 85.3°F and that was from 4 to 5AM. The race started early enough, but Clute had 86.2°F from 7 to 8AM. Farther inland, the airport in Angleton had 84°F with a dew point of 78°F during the race at 7:53AM. That's a heat index of 95°F. I knew this was not my day when I ran a 6:34 second mile. OH well, this race motivated me to get off my rear and start my training runs earlier.
Here are couple of pictures from an article for the local paper:

It probably won't make you feel better that it was low 60's and rainy for most of June and the first part of July here in New England. I think we'll be getting a taste of your Texas heat soon enough.
I looked at the forecast for my old hometown, Shrewsbury Mass: lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s through Monday. That would feel like heaven.
