PM: 14.5 miles, averaged 8:17. HR 157.

120' w/ 80' Steady

Conditions were ideal. Mid-70s dew point in the low 50s and humidity in the 40s. Did a mixed surface loop of safety paths, some sidewalks, dirt roads, the Polly Ann, Orion Oaks two track, and neighborhoods. Kept my HR between 155-170 BPM for the steady portion and averaged 163 BPM and 7:46 pace. I was pleased to see the pace has dropped. My warm up was right at 9' and I had a few 7:30s mixed in the 80' section, so fitness is improving.

Nice progress Jason. Very envious of those weather conditions!

I've been checking your weather, Bret. Those are tough conditions! July usually isn't this comfortable, so I was thankful.
