Personal:
I have five brothers and five sisters,
all younger. I'm currently a PhD Student in the CSEM (computational science) program at UT Austin. Married, no kids (yet). I've been dealing with some issues in running the last few years, and am trying to get back into top shape.
Tried to do a 10K workout today - did a 5K in 17:01 at which point the heat and humidity had significantly slowed me down. Stopped the workout there and fnished Noah's workout with him - he was doing 1K repeats. I did 3.5 of them with him at about 5:10 pace.
Today was less hot and humid, so I decided to try the 10K workout again. The first 5K was better - 16:32, but then I fell apart on the next lap and was barely doing sub-6. Ended up cutting it short after 3 laps (4.5K).
