It was cooler this morning (72) but still very humid.  I felt better this morning but started off real slow just to get loosened up and see how things would go.  After 3 miles I started picking up the pace and eventually got to MP pace.  Did around 3 miles and MP which felt ok.  Still don't seem to have the normal zip in the legs but was just glad to hold the pace.  After the MP miles did about a 1/2 cool down.  I guess you can't really call it a cool down in this kind of weather.  Glad to get in a better run today and hope to feel even better tomorrow.

PM:  22 mile bike ride on a hot and humid evening.  Pretty relaxed pace and good to feel the wind blowing on me to cool things down.

Nice job on the run. Glad to see the temps cooling a little for you. That humidity can really put a damper on a workout (pun intended!).
