AM: 5 miles at 5am. 75F, 100% humidity even at 5am wtf. Was with some other people who are super slow so it was easy. Might continue to run with these people to keep my mornings relatively cool and very easy.
PM: DNF'ed this workout. 95F and very humid. Went to this 1000m stretch of road i measured out by the 200m years ago with a roller and amazingly the spray paint was still visible. I added some stacked rocks to make the markers more noticable. The stretch is almost flat but has a little uphill/downhill in the last/first 150m maybe 5-10ft total. So starting the workout I felt tired but decent. 3:18 first one in the uphill direction into a very light but noticable headwind felt fine. Second one 3:19 with the downhill and tailwind felt pretty hard. Figured I was just getting into the workout. Third one I hit a major wall, could not finish it, stopped at 800m in 2:41. Wanted to finish it out with 800s but I just couldnt. After a 40sec 400 I could not even do 800m so I packed it up. It was so freaking hot. I felt dizzy and nauseated but decided to finish the intended distance of 8 miles which was tough enough. I have decided that I AM going to do workouts in the morning from now on. There is just no way around it. There is no indoor track near here. And while at home I dont even have access to a treadmill unless I go find some temporary gym membership = lame.
