Atlanta and Humidity

I'm in Atlanta this week for training and of course brought all my running gear. Today's run was 6 miles, with a lot of walking in the last mile that I made up for by running some after the ending mark. I didn't expect that this part of the city (Buckhead) would have so many hills - and steep ones at that. I should be thankful the heat wasn't too bad, only in the mid-80s, but the humidity was off the charts. If you'd wrung out my shirt and shorts you would have had a gallon or so of sweat. My sunglasses kept fogging up due to the moisture. The plan called for today to be an easy run, which is why I walked when necessary. Plus if I'd tried to run up those hills I probably wouldn't have made it back to the hotel.
