Another hard run today, with no other real goal. I woke up late this morning and missed my usual run time, so I decided to do the run later in the day. This turned out to be kind of a poor choice, since it was 90º for most of the day and REALLY humid. So, although I wanted this run to be a 'tempo' run, I knew it probably wouldn't be that great of a result due to the heat. At the start I felt pretty good though, so I just tried to keep up the effort until the end. The first mile was quick, then fell off gradually until the fourth mile, but then the wind was at my back and I was feeling a little better on the run down Westfall, so my effort paid off and the last mile was quite quick. I tried to push a little harder at the end, for the last half-mile or so, which helped. I thought that the heat was really going to kill me, but it wasn't that bad. I didn't feel as awful as I thought I would. I definitely felt a lack of energy because I was hot, but the pace didn't really show that too much. A 7:50 pace is good enough for me!
