Running or swimming?

I got up at 6am today to do my long run. The predicted rain hadn't arrived yet but it was 75 degrees and 99% humidity. The air was so soupy that it was more like swimming than running. My foot appears to be getting better. It was sore for the first few miles, and there were a few stabs of pain here and there, but after that it actually felt pretty good. Of course, when I'm running 12 miles towards the end of the run other parts of my body start to hurt so then I tend to not notice my foot anymore. I've determined that I really need to take water with me from now on. Today there was so much moisture in the air that I probably could have just run with my mouth open but anything longer than 10 miles requires refueling. The best part of the run was the fact that the rain came about 30 minutes after I finished my run.
