I feel your pain. I had sweat running into my eyes after the first couple of minutes. I ended up cutting my planned 5 miler to 4 miles because I felt so overheated. How I hate humidity. We're supposed to get some thunderstorms -- I hope that helps.
I think I much preferred the run I did in 80 with low humidity last week...
We were supposed to get thunderstorms, too, but they're nowhere to be found...
Still wondering if I'm okay running on this hip. It doesn't hurt to walk or run anymore. (I notice a tightness, but no real pain, and I don't
think it's altering my stride any.)
Most of the day it just feels like regular soreness. It only
really hurts when I stand one-legged on the strained hip and lean over (e.g., to put on a shoe or pants), i.e., the motion replicated in a one-legged deadlift.
It started early last week, and when I first realized it was more than just soreness (i.e., when I started a run last Tuesday and decided I should stop), I took two days off and felt much better. I start feeling it again after longer runs. I tried some bodyweight one-legged deadlifts the other day, and felt okay. Tried again today and couldn't do one without pain. Regular movement feels fine, though.
As I mentioned, I rearranged my plan to hold off any speedwork for another four weeks. I have some built-in time off in August when I'm traveling for a week for a conference, which should help if I'm not feeling 100% by then.
I'm icing it when I can, and doing leg raises to strengthen the hip flexor. Also trying squats and lunges. Was trying some single-legged deadlifts, but couldn't complete one immediately after this morning's run. I should probably rest more between strengthening exercises.
