It was really hot out there this afternoon!

I had a meeting at The Houstonian today so I had to leave the house earlier than usual to fight traffic. Anticipating an early finish to the meeting, I figured I'd be able to run at Memorial Park immediately after concluding. When I launched at the park, the "feels like" temperature was 103°F. It felt every bit of that and obviously changed the complexion of this run to managing the 3 loops for survival. I took several water stops along the way. Run the first loop counter-clockwise, the second clockwise and the last counter-clockwise. I didn't get much relief. When I finished and checked the temperature back at the car, the "feels like" was 101°F.

When syncing and recording this run, the calculated average heat index was 107°F. I don't remember ever running in conditions like this before today.
