It isn't that bad. I ran around Greenlake earlier today at 4pm. I was in Hawai'i on the Big Island a few years ago and I thought that was brutal even though the temps were in the 80s. If you wait until the sun goes down, it won't be bad at all.

If the heat is really going to kill you guys, the coolest time to run is sunrise.
Also, for you TX guys, I'll take 105 and 40% humidity over 92 and 95% humidity any day.
Damn hot again today in the pnw! I met up with a group out at trails on the eastside, and it was shady but humid. got passed by a big behemoth who was hammering on the trails.
pizza and cold beers never tasted so good!
For all those who laugh at us NW whimps, I salute your toughness.
However, I'll take the mild climate that occurs 90% of the year here.....even if it does start to make me "soft". Even the so-called endless rainy season here is bearable because the rain is rarely that torrential....more like a mist on many days.
I think the only climate better for running could be the SoCal coast (I've been to San Diego area a lot and like it there.....I love running in Torrey Pines).
As of 10:30 P.M. in Tampa, it is 81 degrees and feels like 87.
At this exact moment in Seattle (where it is 7:30 and the sun is still out) the temperature and heat index are both 84.
Deal with it.

I can't believe you guys in Tampa have to deal with this year round. Impressive!

It was in the 40s last night in denver and it might have made it to 70, briefly some time today and the same yesterday.
by the way, does anyone know if the dirt track at Queen Anne Bowl is short?
I worked out there for the first time this morning. The Seattle Parks website says it's 4 laps to the mile (440yd), but I think it's short, and I'd like to know for sure.
thanks!
I live in Michigan, and haven't used my air conditioning for the past two summers.
the difference between seattle and other hot places is that nobody has air conditioning in seattle. when its over 100 degrees IN my house it blows.

It's short. It's 400 yards.
you pussys in new orleans its like 96 with 90 percent humidity.AT night its swamp for air .Like 90 with 95% humidity.YOU are never dry at this time of year.
So true, summers in the south east suck so I won't live there but many in the PNW have never experienced temps in the upper 90's.
I don't live in the PNW bc I love the mountains but from my visits there it would be a great place to train.

Running in this humid 95 degree weather is miserable, like walking out your door into the shores of the styx river. Must run at 5 am or 11 pm to not die of heat exhaustion.
I have not been able to run for almost 6 months because of recurrent stress fractures. In other words: shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful for the opportunity to run because some people don't have it.

If you lived somewhere with heat and humidity, you'd know not to shower for a LONG time after running. Got to let the sweat stop and the body cool down.

This might be one of the dumbest of all the dumb things I've read on Letsrun posts. It might even be on a par with saying Carol Lewis is a good track commentator.
Have you ever tried taking a COLD shower to help the body cool down?!?! Now that's a smart way to finish off a hot run.
true dat ... two years ago, we had a lot of 90 degree days; but last year and this year have been very cool. Avg. high for July normally 82; this year 76Big picture - it's all what you're used to. When my friend in Seattle told me how hot it was 2 days ago my jaw dropped to the floor. I felt for him because they're not used to it.

40% humidity in Texas? Yeah right. Here in Corpus Christi we are lucky if it gets below 80 and the humidity dips below 95%. Most mornings the humidity level hoovers in the 95-99% range! If we are lucky it gets down in the 70% range mid-day because the triple digit heat actually burns some of the humidity off.
I would give my left arm to go for a run in Seattle right now.

There are a couple of big mountains in the PNW. I have been up a few of them, actually.
