5.75 miles~~HOT, HOT, hot....

It has been so hot lately, this week the temperatures are in the 90s, and it is humid.  So HOT!  Running in this is so hard.  I decided to get up and run in the morning hoping that it would be cooler.  But, I didn't get going right away, and I was actually still running at 11:00.  
I got in a 5.75 run and actually ran in a 12:25 pace.  I thought it was going to be closer to 15:00 minute miles!  I walked a good deal more than I usually do.  I sweated like crazy, and just felt yuck some of the time.  
And crazy as it all sounds, I still loved running!  I did take my inhaler before going and didn't struggle with breathing.  It just was HOT.  
When I got home, I drank a huge Accerlerade, then a water, and doused my head with water.  Next time it is this hot, I need to run around 7:00 am, not 9:30 am!
I haven't decided whether I dislike running in the extreme cold or in the HOT heat.  Which is worse.  Right now the heat.
