10.3 miles in 1:22:30, 8:01/mi, HR 160.  30 minute warmup, 3.47 mi, 8:39/mi, HR 149.  15 x 30 second Strides w/ 1 minute rest.  30 minute cooldown, 4.02 mi, 7:28/mi, HR 165.

The heat is back.  Sunny and 75F in the shade for the run, so the warmup/cooldown were both kept easy.  Fortunately, the Strides were over so quickly the heat didn't affect things much, but I was terribly thirsty when they were over and glad I'd brought along some water. 

On a much more frustrating note, my brand new Forerunner 405 locked up again.  Bezel navigation quit working (yes, I checked to make sure I hadn't accidently locked the bezel) and it lost track of the GPS satellite constellation and my HR monitor, although the time kept running and it actually completed the workout once the time ran out.  I suspect that a hiccup in the wireless/GPS functionality is causing this problem but these are so new no one has posted anything online about how to fix other than to return it, so I will.  Unfortunately, it'll take REI another week to get a replacement in, so I'll have to limp thru with this one until then.   Ugh.

Adrenaline 8 - 311.74 miles.
