Tough tough run.  Missed the morning group so decided in my infinite wisdom to run with the aafternoon group.  BIG MISTAKE.  It was hot (95+ degrees), but somehow humid as there had been storm activity.  The workout was 4 x 2,000s.  First one was 8:20...not too bad.  Second one was the same speed, but felt much tougher.  Fell apart on the third one...8:45, but then the clouds blocked the sun for the last one, and even a few degrees made the world of difference as I cranked out an 8:01.  Still slower than I'd like, but a reminder that it was the heat that did me in today.

Fartlek on the trail.  Warm up then 15 x 1 min fast, 1 min slow, followed by 1 mile cool down, and then onto the gym!

Brutal run this morning!  It wasn't too hot, BUT it was excessively humid.  Met up with a couple of buddies who were doing 16 miles.  I'd planned to turn off early & do 12-13 miles.  However, things didn’t quite pan out that way.  The heat and humidity got to my male running buddy, and he dropped back after about 7 miles.  That left me and a very petite lady.  We’d started super early so it was still only around am, and didn’t want her running alone so just tried to grit it out.  Alas I ran out of water after about 11 miles, but was saved by a random water stop at around mile 14.  I think without that I would have been in serious trouble.  Made it back to the house, but I was totally spent.  Chucked two muscle miles, a 32oz Gatorade, had a shower and then collapsed on the bed for 20 minutes before I could even think about doing anything.  Still I survived…oh and the pace...well over 9 minute mile average.  As I said brutal!
