Have I ever mentioned my complete & utter hatred of humidity?

I had a totally CRAPPY run today. The worst! The humidity was unbearable for me (93% at the start, with a "real feel" temp of 90 degrees, according to accuweather.com, which increased as the day went on). I have never sweated so much in my life. By the time I was done, my clothes were dripping wet. My shorts were stuck to my legs. NOT a comfortable feeling at all, especially when you're trying to run.

Our route was the same as last week (down to Sabine & back, stopping along the way to do hills & the parking garage), only we went out of the park long, making the total run 11 miles. I was doing ok for the 1st half of the run, but by the time I got back to the water stop @ Memorial & Waugh, my energy was quickly dwindling. I was SO overheated. I had my fuel belt & kept pouring the cold water over my head & neck during the entire run, trying to try to cool myself down, but it just wasn't working. I was also drinking a lot but I just couldn't seem to stay hydrated enough. I toughed it out & made it to the parking garage & did 2 runs there, which wasn't that bad at all, but once I got back on Memorial & was almost back to the park, I started feeling very light-headed & dizzy. When I got to the entrance to the park at Memorial & Crestwood, I felt like I was going to pass out so I completely stopped running. I thought I was going to just burp, but it turned out I needed to puke instead (just a teeny bit, but still... ew). I stopped my stopwatch & very sloooowwwwly walked the 1/2 mile back to the picnic table. As soon as I got there, I grabbed a pack of peanut butter crackers & wolfed them down, followed by a sweet & salty granola bar. I was STARVING! Having the food in me made me feel a little better.

I drove straight home & immediately took a LONG ice bath. I fell asleep right there in the tub & woke up freezing my ass off. I ate a big bowl of cereal & then tried to nap but I was too tired (don't you hate that?) so I ended up just laying there on the couch for 2 hours. By then I was feeling somewhat human again.

I don't know what the hell I'm going to do if/when the sun ever decideds to shine during my long runs. If I'm already getting this overheated on cloudy days w/ no sun, what's going to happen to me when the sun is beating down on me? I'm a bit worried, especially since all my runs from now on will be in double digits. I have to figure out some way to keep myself cooler. Any suggestions?
