Are you kidding me?

17 August 2009

Six AM.  81 degrees.  81 degrees and the sun isn't even up yet.  The schedule said to do 7 easy miles, but there's nothing easy about 7 miles when the heat index is 89.  Heat index is supposed to be for the middle of the day, not for before sunrise.  Uhhggg.  There was a bit of a breeze along the ocean, and that helped.  I felt sluggish, but was still starting out at a pretty good pace.  In the interest of trying to keep it easy, I kept my pace between 9-9:30/mile.  By the end of the run I could tell that with that much heat, I'd probably have to go even slower if the run were much longer.  I've got to go to Jax tomorrow, so I may have to do the pick-ups on Wednesday.  We'll see.

Stats:

7.01 miles
1:04:33
9:13/mile

Mike: You know how sometimes you lean back too far in your chair, but at just the last second you catch yourself?  I feel like that all the time.
