This weekend Sat. Sun. high's mid 80's, low's mid 60's.  Not much humidity to speak of.

I would not bet on it?

Louisville's 10-day outlook.  Won't be long till we're on the radar...so to speak.

I was thinking about the weather this morning too.  I was driving into work and had to roll up my windows because it was cool.  Almost felt Fall like this morning.  Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!

I felt a cool breeze walking out to my truck this morning and for a just brief moment I had a flash of fall!  It would be so sweet if it's cool in Louisville.

You know how accurate weather forcasts are so I am SURE this will be correct:

If you weed through the map it predicts Louisville for below avg. temps. for the month of Aug. Wouldn't that be nice?!
I for one am having a hard time keeping acclimatized to the warm temps b/c it keeps getting so darn pleasent around here! Where is my blazing hot weather to train in?!!?

Agree, its driving me nuts. I making Mrs Fishie sweat all night on the hot days, as I won't turn on the AC, and then its fall again.

Last week on a cooler day, my 15.5mile LSD (25k for me as I'm Canadian) took me 2:30. This week, on a 90deg day with very high humidity, the same run took me 2:45. Thats quite a difference due to temps.

Nothing we can do about it though, so no point worrying about it.

Wow, your wife is understanding.  I'd be sleeping in the hammock in the backyard and wife would be in bed with the air conditioning.

But if the weather does stay cooler will the water be cool enough for a wetsuit legal swim? (if there was an emoticon of me kneeling and praying......it'd be right here!)

and here I thought I was the only one anal enough to be checking the weather this far out.

I can live with mid 80's, just avoid the 100's

If the weather is in the 80s, this would be two years in row you would have lucked out.   The potential if for mid 90s...

I'm practicing.....training....when we reach the 10-day window, I'll be the fastest weather checker on the board! 

Besides, I've go too much time on my hands now.  Hey, what do 'normal' people do on their lunch break anyway?
