Barbados:  I didn't have time to find a place to run so just ran on the hotel TM.  I planned on doing 4 x 7:00 with 3:00 at around 6:15 pace.  I did a 2 mile warmup and felt kinda run down but thought I would try the workout anyway.  I did the first 7:00 and it was too bad but I could tell getting 4 of them in was going to be tough.  The second one went ok but the workout room was really warm and I was not feeling the best.  I got into the third one and felt like I was really having to push plus the heat was making me feel bad so I cut that one short and skipped the last one.  I hate to cut a workout short but I didn't feel like I was getting out of it what I had planned and just thought I would save it for another day.  Hope to get outside but I'm sure the heat will tough tomorrow.

Have fun in Barbados! TM workouts are always tough for me, even more so if it's hot and no fan. Nice job toughing it out as long as you did.

Good try, I am sure the HEAT is even warmer coming from your cold weather!

Enjoy the vacation!
