Notes

Easy Run [8:07 pace p mi adj for heat]

74 deg / 91% H [71 DP]. Did 2x drills and felt very low level pain in left foot during running but kicks. Wet and equatorial conditions (dew pt was insane). Ran 3 miles along the HarrisY trail and 3 along road for first time in a week. After the first mile my forehead was dripping sweat, at 1.35 miles in decided to relieve the boredom by running outside on the road for the next 3 miles (it was liberating to "break the confines" of the trail -- left foot was ok, will see how things feel tomorrow?). I could actually feel running on the road in my back more. Running on the road meant the first time in a week dealing w/undulating terrain. In mile 4 I started to feel the heat much more as I could feel myself overheating & tried to focus on rhythm and cadence. At 5.1 miles in stopped simply because I was soaked in sweat and felt really overheated (and the air was so still and thick that there was no respite). Continued on and ran most of mile 6 in the wet grass for more cushion. My shoes and socks were completely soaked (mostly sweat). Felt much better 10 days ago last Monday when in almost similar conditions the run felt like a Burma Death March.
