Notes
I wish this humidity would go away. Even at 6:00 in the morning, the weather was balmy and I was sweating beyond all reason. If I don't overheat while running the next couple of days, I probably never will, because I've never run in less comfortable weather, nor gotten so hot.
The running itself was alright, outside of the weather. I felt pretty loose right off the bat, and the pace was very easy. A few weeks ago, 8:00 pace was not what I would run on an easy day, but now, it feels extremely easy. I have to force myself to back off.
Whether this will translate into better times or not remains to be seen. I haven't really gotten a chance to do any intense days for the last couple of weeks, so I am afraid that although an 8:00 pace is much easier, I'll not have any better time running at my race pace of around 6:30. We'll see how that goes, I guess. Until the weather backs off a bit, I'm not really going to be able to raise my intensity.
