AM: 4 in the morning. had fun doing it
PM: 8 in the evening. First 6 decided to get a bit outside of my pocket by running the first mile a tad faster and then just trying to hold that effort and see how the pace dropped. Splits were 6:59, 6:40, 6:33, 6:24, 6:12, 5:45(okay, I increased the effort for this one a little), 6:25 avg. As soon as I finished I realized I was overheating, hard. High was 99 today so it was still pretty warm when I ran, excited to see what the pace is like in a month or two when I'm in better shape and it's cooler out. Got a little down on myself because that last 400m of the 5:45 I almost fell a couple times because the legs were turning to lead, but I put in perspective with the heat and especially the break I'm coming off of. Jogged 2 more without my watch after. Had fun out there.
SOTD: Don't Fear(The Reaper) - Blue Oyster Cult. A top 10 song of all time in my opinion, I don't have a definitive list but I know Billie Jean, Stairway, and this song would all be on it. Probably American Pie too. if I had a hip-hop song it'd probably be either Jesus Walks(Kanye) or N.Y. State of Mind(Nas)
