Humidity and Mosquitos

The humidity here in Wisconsin really kicked my butt this morning. Temperature was in the mid-70s but humidity had to be over 80%. Maybe. I don't know, I'm just making up a number. Actually I just looked and right now, about 45 minutes after the run, it's 75%. Which means I'm not off from the actual number that much.

Anyway, I went 5.6 miles total. I'd planned to go 6, but I forgot that the further south you go on the trail the more flies and mosquitos there are. I started getting swarmed and decided I'd rather turn around then spend all my energy flailing at flying critters. Overall I went a longer distance than on Thursday but probably walked more and ran less. The humidity really got me on the way back so I walked about two-thirds of the last mile, with some other walk breaks before that. It was very scenic but I was very soaked by the time I got back to the hotel.
