Hot and humid this morning, but I am not complaining - I hope we get some rain out of all this. The wind was minimal when I started but picked up through out the run. I warmed up for 2 and then met Saskia and we did 1 more warm up mile together. The plan was MP for 4-5 miles, but I knew that it was not likely unless I was running on my own.... the problems I have created for myself and I sound really finicky, I am just frustrated by the whole situation. We hit the first two at MP 8:04, 7:44 and at that point Saskia was pretty far behind so I circled back to get her and said let's recover and then start again. We recovered for a little over a mile, up the big hill and then I said let's pick it up. We stayed about 8:20 - 8:30 for about .6 of a mile and I had enough and took off trying to see if I could get it down to MP - ended up at 8:07, just off. Recovered and headed back home. Avg Pace 8:48
