    97 here yesterday in Sac. Currently 75 outside and climbing fast. We may break 100 today, which would suck.

    Finally cooled off. It's 82 here right now, which was just about the average nightly low for the past week. It got down to 75 last night, so I opened up my windows and let the apartment air out overnight.

    After a stretch of hot weather you start getting used to it. For instance you get hit with temps in the hundreds and when it drops back into the 90's you feel comfortable to the point where you don;t even think of putting on the air conditioner. Now I know how people in the old days managed without ac. They simply took the heat and got used to it.

    Humidity is one of the reasons I don't think I could live there. Fires aside, at least out here when the heat hits triple digits, it drives the humidity into the single digits. There really is something to the "dry heat" thing.

    Went for a 37-miler on the Ohio-Erie Towpath Trail/Olde Muskingum Trail about 10 this morning. Got back around 2:30 - temps started out in the low 70s, cloudy and about 50% RH. Comfortable riding conditions. About noon things started heating up/heading downhill; by the time we hit the trailhead at the end of the ride it was 88 degrees, bright sunshine and the humidity had risen into the 70+% area. Not fun - while tiring, this particular ride isn't draining...but both of us got our a$$es kicked today. Averaged 8MPH on the last several miles; down from our usual 15.

    What we could really use is some "cold heat". :)

    Last evening the heatwave went out with quite a bang, the worst storm I've seen in years. A horizontal downpour with lightning galore left numerous fires, downed trees and power lines in its wake, branches everywhere. No damage to my neighborhood while the scanner told the tale of what happens when Zeus gets angry. The coming week looks good, normal summer weather... for now.

    I'd be happy with some rain.

    Except for a little bit on Friday 6/29, there hasn't been fuck all for rain. While lots of places to the south of me got hit with major damage, you would be hard pressed to know we had even a drop of rain here, let alone any wind.

    I'm 3 min/mile off my normal pace :(

    At this point, I'd run in the rain if it meant 80 degrees instead of 100+. Looking like I'll get my wish this week.
