AM - 5 easy miles. Was able to keep the pace slow. It was very muggy out this morning, my shirt was soaked at the end of my run. Total time was 42:03, average pace of 8:25/mile. Another 3-4 miles this evening for a good start to the week. This week I think I will do a slow long run, and may put in a few tempo miles during the week. Everything feels good today, my quads were only sore for the first 15-20 seconds of my run, and then they loosened up and felt good for the rest of the run.
PM - ran another 3 easy miles - it was hot. The rest of this week is not looking good either . . . we are supposed to break our all-time record of number of days above 110 degrees. I never thought I would say I can't wait for summer to be over . . . total time was 24:32, average pace of 8:11/mile. A bit faster than planned, but nothing too concerning. It was hard to get into a good rhythm this evening, so my pace kind of fluctuated. I am very much looking forward to pacing Lybi in her 5K this Friday, although with it being super-hot, we will have to see about the pace. It may end up being even hotter than it was when we did the sunset run for shade. |
