IT SUCKED.
It rained last night, and it was HOT! I learned previously in my Exercise Sports Science physiology class that today would suck. In humid air, you still sweat like crazy but the sweat has nowhere to go since there is no air gradient and therefore your sweat doesn't get evaporated. The whole point of sweating is to have the sweat evaporated to cool you down. So running in humidity just makes you feel nasty.
Good thing there aren't many days like this in Oregon!! Usually when it's wet or rainy outside, the air is cool and crisp. I learned to appreciate that today. Usually, it doesn't rain much by the time June comes around. Now I have a newfound appreciation for runners in Florida and Brazil and other places where they have to run in this torture! Living in the northwest has spoiled me.
Oh well, next time I just know to wear less clothing. I think I'm going to buy a headband. I want the one above.
