Run #1: Un-pre-meditated progression run. 9:39 am, 57° F, 60% humidity, wind 10 N, mostly cloudy.
I didn't get to bed until midnight last night because I took a long nap on Saturday and slept late on Sunday morning, and I had a bunch of stuff I was trying to get done. Even then, I had a hard time going to sleep. So I didn't think it would be a good idea to get up at 4:30 to go running. Instead, I slept until 6:30 and then worked until a while after the kids were off to school, and then went out for my run. It was supposed to be a recovery run, but my legs were feeling okay after the first little bit and I was in kind of a hurry because I'm busy with work and I had to get home in time to drive my son to his AP Physics test. I'll take today's second run at a more recovery pace. I think this is the last time in this training cycle that I have to do doubles. I don't particularly care for doubles because I have a hard enough time fitting in one run per day, let alone two. AP: 9:35. Splits: 10:08, 9:57, 9:48, 9:24, 9:14, 8:57. Run #2. Recovery run. 2:32 pm, 65°F, 17% humidity, wind 12 WNW, sunny. I don't know how you people who run in hotter temperatures and higher humidity do it. Actually, this temperature wasn't too bad to run in, but I was really dripping with sweat when I finished. I'm not acclimated to heat at all. I really tried to keep it slow. Thus the slow down on the last mile. AP: 10:07. Splits: 10:33, 9;57, 9:51, 10:07.
