I was planning on getting up early to get 10 miles in today but I could not go to sleep last night. I finally fell asleep around 2 am and when my alarm went off at 5:30 I went back to sleep. I headed out tonight at 6:30 and the temp was 90 degrees, not sure on the humidity but it was high and 20 mile an hour winds - quite the combination. I was going to try to replicate the hill work out the BBK's were planning on but it is flat, flat, flat - not a hill in sight. So I opted for heat training. I felt really good until mile 5 and I got tired really fast. I did not carry water or gatorade so I convinced myself to get in one more mile and then I could walk on the beach. SOOO worth it. I ended up walking for about 1 mile on the beach back up to the hotel and it was a beautiful evening and sunset. Ave Pace 8:38 Happy Running!
