Total Distance
6.40

9AM, 80F, ~65% humidity. Wow that was a hard one. It was so hot and I was fighting to keep a good pace. I averaged 8:06 which is good for this course in these conditions.

0:51:53

It's the 4th week in a row in which I will do close to or over 40 miles and I'm starting to feel tired both physically and mentaly. I am definately going to have a cut back week next week.

You are doing great, the milage increase takes a bit to get used to but it will pay off. Try to ensure you are getting enough sleep and take a "rest day" to allow some recovery. With the heat and humidity you face, be sure to hydrate and fuel well. Don't drop off much, but give yourself a break and come back strong.
