How warm do front hubs get while driving?

I replaced my front rotors and pads and repacked my bearings with high temp grease two weeks ago. Afterwards, the car received a 4 wheel alignment from Steinels' per Todd Serota's (track/street car) specs on the Rennlist. Steinels' also inspected the car for an upcoming DE. Since then I have not driven the car much other than bedding in the new pads. This week-end I took it out for a quick 30 mile jog while it was a nice 75F degree day and when I cam home the front hubs felt warm and the right front was slightly warmer than the left front.

Is this something I should be concerned about or is this normal? I do not remember how they felt prior to the rotor replacement and wonder if I'm just being anal. FYI, I was not particularly hard on the brakes during the drive as it was nearly all freeway, but I did go from 60 to 20 before entering my street which is about a 0.25 mile from my house.


TIA
