Not to sound like your parents, or Max Lockwood for that matter, but make sure you hydrate this weekend!
The "feels like" temperature could hit 110 degrees and none of us are quite acclimated to the DC humidity yet.

I have shifted to waking up at 5am to run in order to beat the heat.
I love hot and humid. I am running mid-day when its hottest. Its like getting in a sauna and sweating out all demons and toxins. When I run in the heat, I envision myself as an ancient times warrior, braving the elements and pushing through to live another day. hope its 200 degrees for LHH.
