AM/Lunch: 20 miles, averaged 7:54

Just under 80 degrees or so when I started and 88 degrees when I finished. No wonder I bonked so hard a mile 18. I decided to run back and forth on Forbidden Drive on the dirt and under the shade. It was a good move today. Averaged about 7:45 through 18 and lost a lot of time climbing up the hill and dragging my carcass the last two miles. Felt better than last week and clicked of some moderatish miles around 7:30-7:15 once I got going without consciously picking up the pace.

AM: Flourtown Tempo Loop - 14 miles, averaged 7:38 w/ 8-mile MP tempo

Warmed up 3 slowly and my face was already covered in sweat. Temp spanned 70-80 degrees and the humidity went from 90-75%. Needless to say, I just wanted to get in my 8 miles at roughly the correct effort and not try to hit 6:20-6:30 because that is what MP usually is.

It took a bit to swallow my pride for my slowest 8 mile tempo in probably 2.5 years and I felt like pulling it pretty much every mile and during every mile I would tell myself to shut up and just maintain; you still get the stimulus by running at the correct effort. Fall is coming, just not today and probably not next week.

8 miles in 53:53

6:44, 6:47, 6:46, 6:47, 6:41, 6:43, 6:44, 6:41 (6:44 average)

The sock liner on my Rides folded around tempo mile 4, which was a pleasant feeling for the next 4 miles. Need to glue it in or chuck the liners.

PM: 5 miles. Felt good. Stride felt smooth and running felt effortless
