Woke up this morning to find the windows of the house were wet. The humidity outside was so high the house was sweating like a can of Coke. It was 83 degrees out.

Went out for a 3.7 mile run before I left for work. When I left the house I wasn't really feeling "it" but decided to push through and finish the run. When I finished I looked at my timer and was surprised to discover I averaged 45 seconds per mile faster than I normally run. Apparently the "it" I wasn't feeling was me pushing a bit harder than usual.

Was showering at work today so when I finished my run I paused long enough to change shoes and strap on my backpack, then hopped on the road bike for my 8 mile ride to work. Whatever caused me to push hard on my run was also making me push hard on the bike. The last couple miles I was starting to get pretty tired but I didn't let up. Wound up arriving at work in about 27 minutes.

Only now I had/have a commuter's dilemma. Between the heat, humdity, the hard run and the hard bike ride I arrived looking like I had just jumped in a swimming pool. No lie, I was leaving a trail of dripping sweat from the bike rack across the sidewalk to the office door. There wasn't a bit of clothing that wasn't completely saturated.

A shower and a change into my work clothes quickly resolved one half of my problem. The other issue was what to do with my saturated workout clothes. Usually they'll get a little sweaty and I have a few spots around the office where I can discreetly place them to dry. However today they're well beyond the usual amount, and to the point where I wouldn't want to subject my co-workers to them. To make matters worse, at lunch I have to ride 8 more miles to a client's office so I need to wear these clothes again.

I found a mechanical room in our building that had been left unlocked. I went in there are hung my clothes up to dry. Hopefully nobody needs to work in there this morning. I've been going in every so often and shaking them in hopes that I can accelerate the drying process. Just checked, and I have a feeling they're still going to be good and wet in a couple hours when I have to put them back on.

Oh well, this is what I would call a "first-world problem."
