Very true! Here in Florida my run off the bike was 101 feels like and it's oppressive. I'm actually writing a post today with some of my tips for running in the heat!

Woohoo can't wait to read, but really: I have never actually experienced a dry heat in my life (lived my whole life in Virginia and only really travelled the East Coast. But I will die on the hill that humidity is the absolute WORST!!!

Yeah, I've lived in Florida and Texas so I've experienced both. Texas can have a dry heat and that's just painful. But Florida is humid heat and it's 99% here most mornings so it's more suffocating. It also creates another issue for heavy sweaters like me in that the sweat can't evaporate from your body into the air and so it's much harder to cool off and you are more likely to overheat. Summer here is fun.

I hear you on that. Even when it is cold outside in the winter, I come back from a run looking like I jumped in a pool—or peed myself hahaha
