     It was nice and cool this morning at 4:30 am at 43 deg. Unfortunately I didn't have time to run when it was nice. I finally got out at 6:30 pm when it was 84 deg. I figured I could have gone later after it cooled but I wouldn't be able to go until after 9:30 and I wanted to get to bed earlier. I felt really beat before I left but after I started running I felt better. There was a bit of a breeze that kept the heat from being too unbearable. I ran up past the reservoir and after 4 miles I felt good so I decided to do a workout. for the next 6 miles I did a fartlek run going 4 minutes hard 2 minutes easy.  I ended up with 7 faster segments that totaled 4.33 miles at 6:17 ave pace. They varied from 6:10 to 6:25 pace each depending on hills and wind direction and the two min easy parts were around 8:30 pace. Overall pace for the 6 mile workout was 6:52. overall for all 10 was 7:21 AP. I dunked my shirt in the reservoir at the turn around and that really helped with the heat.

The weather sounds like Texas except your running was way better than mine!
