From running log:
Ran about 4 miles at 7:20 pace on a hot, 85F sunny day, wearing Saucony 1980s. Felt dizzy and wobbly, but ran hilly course. Hot! I’m tired, need rest. Going to race 5km on Saturday. Hope I do decent. Have to back off this training in the HEAT!
30 years later:
My struggles with running in hot, humid weather have never left me, even after all of these years. Folks think that Wisconsin is a kind of frigid place, always cold and windy. That may be generally true in January and February, but summers in Wisconsin can often be steamy ... perhaps not as hot as places like Houston or New Orleans, but nearly as humid. Wisconsin gets all four seasons and the weather that comes with each.
Saucony was still relatively new to the serious running shoe biz in the late 70s. The "Trainer 1980", also known as Trainer 80, had a black carbon rubber sole with circular lugs. It would still be a few years until Saucony came out with the Jazz model that would establish its signature triangular lugs that they still employ to this day.
