It was about 17 degrees cooler tonight than last night, so that gave me a great opportunity to get out and run. Of course, the temperature was still about 90, so it wasn't exactly frigid. I waited until about 7:40 pm to leave the house, giving the sun plenty of time to get low on the horizon and eliminating the energy-sapping effects of direct solar heating.
As usual, I started slowly. It took about 2.5 miles to loosen up and get my breathing right in the hot, humid air. I walked about 30 seconds every mile or so.
Overall pace was 9:39 for 5.4 miles. I was quite comfortable for the second half of the run and could have gone farther, but decided there was no point in it. There's still a long way to go to Dallas. -- Rob
