8 miles steady. I heard someone call this type of run an "aerobic builder," and I like that phrase. I ran about 1 mile very easy, then dropped to ~6:30 pace through 4 miles, then 3 miles in 6:04, 5:54, 6:00. Final mile included 4 x strides. Avg pace = 6:28.
The humidity was about as high as it gets this morning. The 3 miles at 6:00 pace were a little out of my comfort zone thanks to the heat, but overall this was a nice stimulus.
