Weather - 75 degrees and humidity was beyond nuts (93%)
Clothing - Black running shorts (compression, biker style), Short sleeve tech shirt (rockstar), and Camelbak
Nutrition - Ate a banana before the run. During the run: 50 oz powerade/water mix.
Route - Started at the intersection of Lee Chapel Road and Old Keene Mill Road, by the Hallmark store. Ran 2.5 miles down Burke Centre Parkway towards Kohl's, turned around and ran back.
Distance Completed: 5 miles
Time: Started at 7:15am, took 1 hour, 1 minute.
T., J.W. and I met to do the 5 miles. The humidity sucked big-time. It was very hard for me to breathe and I was sweating like crazy. At one point it felt like I wasn't even moving, I was going so slow. By doing Burke Centre Parkway, we had some hills and it made me go even slower.
Anything I'd do different? No.
Mid-week runs - ran 5 miles on Tuesday, ran 4 miles on Thursday; both on the treadmill at the gym

Weather - 70 degrees and humidity was ridiculously high (84%)
Clothing - Black running shorts (compression, biker style), Short sleeve tech shirt (rockstar), and Camelbak
Nutrition - Ate a banana before the run. During the run: 50 oz powerade/water mix.
Route - Started at the intersection of Oak Green and Burke Centre Parkway. Made a right on to Ox Road. Went 2.5 miles down Ox past Braddock Road intersection and turned around.
Distance Completed: 5 miles
Time: Started at 7:00am, took 58:39 minutes.
J.W. and I met to do the 5 miles. I have to say, at this point, the 5 should be a cinch, but it's all relative and the 5 to me was as hard as the 14 last week. The humidity made it very hard to run. Somewhere along the way, this is no longer fun and the running each weekend feels like a chore. I'll be happy when November comes. And, when the humidity finally goes away.
Anything I'd do different? No. I am just happy it is over with.

Weather - Sunny, 67 degrees (humid and sticky)
Clothing - Black running shorts (longer, biker style), Short sleeve tech shirt (Rockstar), fuel belt,
Nutrition - Ate nothing before. During the run: (2) 8 oz water, (1) 8 oz powerade.
Route - Started at the intersection of Lee Chapel Rd on Ox Road. Went 2.64 miles down Ox (towards Occoquan) and turned around. Made it a point to go to the gas station and then do the turnaround.
Distance Completed: 5.25 miles
Time: Started at 6:00am, took 58 minutes
J.W., T, A, and I met at 6:00am. The schedule had us doing 3 miles, but we bumped it up and did 5, actually a little more. I was able to keep up with the other women and run the whole time with them. The heat at the end became an issue for me. I do think I am starting to get faster on these outside runs. Yay!
Anything I'd do different? No. Everything worked on this run. The temperature actually felt okay for most of the run. It was only at the end I was getting super hot.
Mid-week runs - ran 5 miles on Tuesday, ran 4 miles on Thursday; both on the treadmill at the gym. On Tuesday's run, I felt my speed pick-up big-time. Yay!
