I jog/walked the last mile of a normally easy 5-miler. Kicked my ass, I'm telling you.

Edit: East-central Iowa. Which is still better than Miami, where I spent last weekend working.

10. Problem is that even though the temp has dropped to a chilly
93 degrees, the Humidity is now starting to go up, it's 48%, and the heat index is still 99 degrees at 8:25.
