Holy Humidity.... Dog Tired

In meteorology, humidity indicates the likelihood of precipitation, dew, or fog. High relative humidity reduces the effectiveness of sweating in cooling the body by reducing the rate of evaporation of moisture from the skin. This effect is calculated in a heat index table, used during summer weather. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

High humidity reduces the ability for the body to cool down.... no wonder I feel as though I am wearing a wet towel after my run this morning. But nevertheless I got out there and ran... and so did the wild child (as the vet now like to call Bella)

As rough as my run was this morning and as exhausted as I am and wanted to quit and turn around... I pushed through... so I am dedicating the rest of this post as a motivational day.... hope you enjoy
