Title: Oh, summer running in the Mid-Atlantic
Post by: Chasing Amy on June 16, 2015, 09:06:11 AM: I've been sweating so much that I have a heat rash on my chest. :grr:

I realize my Deep South compatriots have it much worse, but this sucks.

And being near the ocean regulates temps, we never get the extreme heat, just constant 80ish.

Ran at lunchtime yesterday, since I was working at home

It was quite pleasant; not nearly as muggy as it's been lately
Yesterday was nice! Could see a HUGE difference in air temp/quality.

Actually, DC has been hotter and more humid than Tampa the past few days.

It's 90 degrees outside my window right now. Gotta walk home in this soup in a couple of hours.
