Better workout today, but still not where I would like to be.  I once again had Sunny drive me out to Anderson Junction.  I figured I would not try to run a 6 mile tempo, but settle for a 5 mile tempo, and I also figured since it was still well over 100 degrees I would only do 1 mile warm-up instead of 2.

1-5:58 Started at Mile Marker 6 this was a big improvement from this mile last week.  Last week I ran 6:23 on this mile, granted I had already done one mile of tempo last week at this point, but still.

2-5:45 Last week was 6:00

3-6:11

17:58 (5:59 average)

Like last week, I only made it through 3 miles, then I stopped

However, unlike last week after I gave myself a few minutes to try to recover I attempted two more miles.

1-6:52 this mile was hard and I struggled to get going again.

2-6:03 All I was wanting to do on this mile was be done.

12:58 (6:28 average)

Anyway, not the best workout, but at least I felt a little better than last week.  I also did a lot better on the 2 mile cool-down home.  In fact I was able to run most of the way home, this of course was after I went and laid in the creek for awhile to cool-off.

Good progress. If you can just keep the momentum going, I think it will have you in shape to run a great time at St. George.

Dustin, I am glad you are feeling better about things. Remember that you are running in the heat of the day. Don;t be so hard on yourself, you are doing awesome considering when you are running these tempo miles. When it is that hot I am doing tempo miles in my car....with the air conditioning up full blast-
