My wife was having a yard sale today and I agreed to help her get everything setup and help with the early morning crowd. Because of this I got out much later than I wanted to for my run. It was about 72 when I started and almost 80 when I finished so it was getting pretty warm. Even with the heat I felt pretty good and stayed consistent with my pace throughout the run. I did pick it up just a little bit (maybe 15 seconds per mile) the last 4 miles to practice strong finishes.
On a side note German Fernandez ran 8:34.4 in the 2 mile to break the national high school record. If you are interested you can watch the race here: http://www.dyestat.com//?pg=videos&vid=D8CECA5EF13F6D7A&PHPSESSID=94cb6f176d3e44b865bcadb11889ba7f. Pretty cool stuff!
