Heat or humidity?
I live in Florida, and running lately has become increasingly difficult due to the hot weather. If I get up before sunrise the temperature is the lowest, but the humidity is at it's highest. For example, tomorrow at 5am the humidity is predicted to be over 95%, but the feel like temp is only 81. On the other hand, at 8pm…

Runners, need some training help!
I am training for my first half. I am up to about 18 miles a week, running four days a week. I usually have two easy runs, a tempo run, and then a long run.

Running shoes for dogs
I run about 15 miles a week with my pit bull. We have run together since she was little, and she's about 3 1/2 now. I have noticed lately that her foot pads are worn in a couple places, and today when we came back from a run one was cracked. Being a pitbull, she gives no indication that she is in any pain so I didn't have…
