Fly on the Wall

9 miles with 4 at 1/2 mary pace.  I should have run the faster miles under 6:45 pace but it felt so blasted hot.  I think this was my first run of the year in anything above 70ish degrees.  During my last run it was in the mid 30s.  Today it was about 50 degrees hotter, 85.

3 miles ez.

4- 6:47, 174bpm.

5- 6:59, 180bpm.  Overheated.  In an act of desperation I stopped and dunked my hat and shirt in the oh so foul Jordan River.  Yuck!  No floating bodies but a large floating trash jam.

6- 6:52, 174bpm.

7-7:03, 180bpm.

2 miles ez.

I usually don't mind the heat so much but I really need to aclimate to it.  Oh well I guess this leaves a lot of room for improvement!

14 miles.  8:08 ave pace. 163 bpm ave.  92 degrees.

Made it about 9 miles before I got hot enough for my pace to really slow and my heart rate to go up.  Cooled down with gunge water.

5 ez miles. ave pace about 8:15.  142 bpm ave. 

Today felt great.  It was only 88 degrees with a bit of a whispy cloud blocking a bit of the sun.  I guess I'm starting to adjust to the heat.  For a recovery run my pace could have been a bit slower but I ran with a group that included the fast guy.

82 degrees.  12 miles in 1:35.  7:57 ave pace.  153bpm ave.

A bit humid for here but a bit cooler.  Yeah!  Nothing eventful.  I didn't run hard or easy, just chugged along and got it done.

5 ez miles up City Creek in the cool of the morning.

Home, downtown, City Creek Canyon, and back.  I missed last week's long run and thus haven't run long (>17 miles) since my race 3 weeks ago.  So I was more concerned with just getting in the miles than with pacing.  This turned out to be a good thing as I repeatedly lost signal in the canyon, once for several miles.  Lots of runners out this morning.  I was dragging a bit going up the canyon til I started passing a bunch of Team in Training ladies.  I also saw a few friends.
