Notes
Easy Run [8:06 pace p mi adj for heat]
83 deg / 60% H [68 DP]. Felt so much better than yesterday (legs had spring to them) despite very miserable conditions (sky high dew point & the lack of any breeze makes it worse). Controlled the pace throughout given the conditions (which also meant focusing on form going up any hills). The first four miles felt the same except for the climbs in the middle of mile 3 (up Park South fr Park) and mile 4 (up Park to Fairview). Until I climbed up Park to Fairview I felt good, but after this climb I could feel "struggle" enter in my vocabulary which was all heat related (started to feel sick to my stomach, shorts soaked in sweat and started to feel like I was going to overheat). At this point some guy w/greying hair (weighs 50 lbs less than me) runs past me along Fairview running in the road (does he have a death wish?) & unsociable (no wave). He gets ahead of me, turns right on Park South, I continue up Fairview and then again he pulls ahead of me and again he is running in the road still (tons of traffic) & no wave. He is constantly looking at his watch -- I figured he is running abt 8 min pace & wearing a shirt (in these conditions?). Once I hit 5.5 miles (47 min in) had to take a break as I felt really hot. When I started up the breeze I created running actually felt refreshing, and decided to go only 6.5 miles as this heat takes so much out of me.
