Waited around today to run this evening in the sweltering heat. Very hot and nasty. Ran a small race to support the GRC racing team. Spent most of the race dodging mud pits on the tow-path. Pretty slow, but better than I've been running, so that's always a plus. Considering the conditions it was a good workout. I might as well run another race next weekend and race myself into shape. What have I got to lose? I'm running short races slower than what my half marathon pace was just a few months back.

AM: VERY humid this morning. I apparently did not drink enough water because we started a 3 mile tempo + 1 mile harder cruise interval on the Mt. Vernon trail. I started the run, going 5:32, then 5:39, and falling back to 6:00. Just terrible. I was dizzy a bit and felt like ass. Just like Sunday. I think I was not recovered from Sunday due to the extreme heat and I accidentally ran an extra mile on my way home yesterday. I feel pretty tired now and I'm guessing it's the 73 dewpoint and the constant sweating the last three days. I'm not ready to give up my July races yet but this constant shitty workouts doesn't do much for my fitness that's for sure. I'm just going to keep putting in the time, hoping that my fitness will come around. This is pretty frustrating.

PM: the closed the pool due to thunderstorms.
