Notes
Temp 79 (Heat Index 80) Wind 10mph. Humidity 49%. Dew Point 59 degrees.
7:00 pm run to acclimate to 7:00 pm gun time tomorrow night. Was going to stay in the neighborhood for three, but such a pleasant evening, decided on four in City Park. Recovery Run after 10-Miler. Been stretching, some mowing, stationary bike, anything to stay loose and recover. Working well. Dressed in all black with shades and new Mizzou cap...if I'm going to be seen in public in broad daylight running 10-minute miles, I'm going to at least look cool.
Started breaking in second set of Kanbarra-3s. I'm lucky shoes that work best for me are cheap. Will probably retire the old pair after race tomorrow night and have the new ones ready to go at Rodeo Run 5K on 8/1.
Homecomers 5K course is in opposite direction than 10-Miler. Took the opportunity to recheck road positioning and tangents. Also made sure I'm remembering all available places for acceleration. There aren't many. Also chance for rain all day tomorrow. Slick trails and slick bridges possible. Hey, we all gotta run the same course.
No signs of fatigue until about 2.75 miles. Hammies spoke up when climb home got serious about 3.25 miles in. Pace landed near 10:00. 9:55 / 9:54 / 9:51. Needed 10:16 final mile to stay at Recovery Effort.
