12 miles easy to moderate with Jerry in the rain. It's quite muddy

As someone commented on capital weather gang's forecast today: 

“Today won’t exactly be the ideal first full day of falL..” BAHAHAHAHA!!!!   No, but it should be exactly what was expected. Much like “spring”, so-called “fall” is a quaint anachronism.  There really is no such thing anymore in these here parts. What you have entered into boys and girls, is the Third Season of the Constant Schvitz. Put it on a playback loop until December: Rain, heavy at times, localized Biblical flooding, winds that will rip your scalp off. September is 75% in the bag and we’ve had, what?, maybe 10 minutes of “nice weather” the entire month.  We roll out of Hell-Fire right into the Schvitz with hardly anything resembling “fall” let alone any kind of extended idyllic period where one can venture outdoors without exploding their lungs or being washed into the sewer drain"

I wish it would stop raining already but hey, at least it's cooler. Tomorrow morning will be back at low 70s and humid, however. Waiting for those crisp fall days

PM: 5 miles + standard core routine. Quite humid but not raining

light workout before Thursday's long workout. Did some hills for leg strength. I need to start focusing in on aerobic threshold training. Always raining, it was lighter during the workout but damn parts of the trail are flooded out and it's really muddy. So much water

very warm and humid today. 72 with a dew point of 71 this morning, 84 with  a dew point of 71 this afternoon. Absolutely disgusting and a day better left for July. Looks like a cold front will be sweeping in and it appears pristine fall conditions are in store with no rain and highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. It's about damn time. Not even a hint of  (dry) fall weather up to this point so far.
