Back in New Orleans. The schedule had 3x2mi + 2x1mi w/ 2x30s sprints. I got hopeful that the humidity was dropping when it read 70 F last night, but this morning it was back to 76 F. No such luck. I ran the first two reps in 11:39 (5:50, 5:49) & 11:36 (5:46, 5:50) but was already overheating. Decided to split the rest of the workout into cruise miles and try to just hit 6:00 pace. Mile 5 was 6:03, and I started mile 6 but reached 1/4 mi in well over 6:00 pace and decided to call it. That break in the humidity will come soon, but this is not the week.
Added the 2x30s sprints on the way home.
