Notes
Easy Run (7:43 pace p mi adj for heat)
82 degrees, 55% humidity. From the start I felt absolutely horrific. This was my third "back-to-back" run post-injury and its obvious what poor shape I'm in given the layoff. Legs felt dead. It was a struggle to keep putting one foot in front of another. I estimated my pace at about 8:20, then 8:10, and the final two miles I was purposely slowing it because of how bad I felt it (it felt like 9:00 miles). My goal was to go 5 miles straight but no way could I do that (perhaps the heat contributed). I can't believe the actual splits because of how slow I felt plus I was really shortening my stride over the last two miles to concentrate on form. This felt like a 2 on a 10 pt scale.
