We had our 18 miler today (I'm in training for the Savannah Rock N'Roll marathon) and boy oh boy was it hot!!!
We started at 4:20am and it was already 84* with thick thick humidity. It only got worse from there!
I had to stop for some bathroom issues (see giant difference between 'total time' and 'moving time') in mile 7 and mile 10. But overall i felt that it went really well. If what they say is true about the heat above 80* slowing you down 2 min/mile, then I was super fast today ;)

My traditional "Post Long Run" Reward Cupcake (today it was a s'more's flavored cupcake)
It was pretty epic.
And nowwww resting for a while. I think I might start the 100 pushup program tonight :) I kept waiting until a time when I was "rested" because it recommends you get an intial pushup test when you feel rested, but I never do. I actually feel like I'd have more energy tonight since I got to sit and home and relax all day rather than during the week when I have to work all day :D Does that make sense?
Congrats! Must be so hard to train in that heat...
