I'm hoping since we had an early summer we get an early fall and a drop in the humidity. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The heat is absolutely killing me - this week will be rough and might involve the treadmill (if my bump doesn't get in the way) or pool running. Last week we had a bit of a respite probably due to winds off the lake, and I'm hoping we get something like that again soon.
