Notes

Another horribly humid AM, temps around 70. No breeze to speak of. First mile@10:00, second@8:45, then into the tempo portion. Don't remember individual miles so much but allegedly averaged 8:08 for middle 6 miles (1:07:35 for first 8). Last mile just shut off watch and jogged, as I was pretty much done--not totally exhausted or in pain but just tired, very hot and very wet, had enough.

This is mysterious, as it seemed to me that the miles I remember here were mostly slower or significantly slower than 8:00 goal (seem to remember two 8:30s and last tempo mile was 9:00) and only 2 I recall being faster, one by 15 seconds and one by 5 seconds, so wondering how that averages out to 8:08. Last tempo run the opposite happened, could only remember 1 or 2 slow miles and others significantly faster but it averaged 8:20. Am I just a bonehead or wtf?

Whatever the pace actually was today, the effort was there. Very sick of this fricking weather.
