AM: Treadmill - 5.5 miles. Another day, another failed workout. The temps were 75, humidity 98%, and the dew point 75, so there was no way I was going outside. The treadmill didn't help. Planned 4-6 by 1 mile starting every 8 minutes (6 minute mile 2 recovery or a bit more recovery if I ran under 6). Pace just felt unsustainable so I did 6:07 for the first mile and 6:15 for the second, then just pulled it a quarter mile into the third. I think part of the problem is the mileage spike last week and the fact that I am down 4-5 pounds the last two days. I am finding it impossible to get my hydration levels up without drinking many consecutive glasses of water and I don't think that's the proper way. Hoping for a decent workout on Thursday or Friday when the weather is cooler.
PM: Treadmill - 5.25 miles
