This little break in the weather has been great for outdoor exercising. I still wait until the sun gets low on the horizon before I go out, but running at 84 or 85 with no direct sun is significantly more comfortable than the same temperature WITH direct sun. Much less 90 or 95 with direct sun.
I went out without a clear idea how far I wanted to go. No less than 3, and maybe as much as 7. With the relatively moderate temperature it didn't take long to determine that I'd be able to go fairly long. My splits after the first mile were pretty consistently in the 9:10 to 9:25 range, and I never felt like I needed to walk to conserve energy. I even drank on the run.
Final mileage was 7.1 in 1:06:24, for a 9:22 pace.
