6x800s on the track. Ranged from 3:02 to 3:08. Considerably slower than my usual 800s, but I haven't done a speed workout in a month or so and when we started the heat index was about 100, so I'll take it. I convinced my brain that it wasn't that hot, but my legs weren't hearing it.

Speedwork in the heat? That's just brutal. Good job!

I'm with April; just getting out to do the speedwork in this heat is laudable. Not to mention that the heat will naturally slow you down (i.e. slower running for a given effort with respect to the same run in cooler temps) due to your body's effort to keep you cool, which takes a surprising amount of energy...

Solid speedwork; good job.

Thanks guys! It's going to be 5 or more degrees cooler for at least the next week, so I am looking forward to that!
