15 miles in 2:02:50, 8:11/mi, HR 161. Warm hill run today. 71F at the start and sunny, 78F at the finish. Out and back with a large hill early (mile 1-3), some gentle inclines (3-7.5), some gentle declines (7.5-12), the large hill again (12-14) and the finish. Everything went pretty well except the return hill, by which time I was roasted and spent and I wound up taking a few walk breaks of several seconds to get to the top. The heat really cooked me....I lost 5.4 lbs over the course of the run and consumed 24 fl oz of water enroute for a total of 6.9 lbs of sweat over 2 hours. I'm not sure these runs in the heat are getting any easier but perhaps slightly more tolerable? Time to go move a couple pallet loads retaining wall bricks around the yard.
