Working on bringing my time down on only 2 mile runs with less HR effort. It is so hot and humid here now (75-80 degrees, 90-100% humidity every morning). As soon as we get a weather break I'll start some longer runs.

Still no break in the weather but I'm about ready to break out and run a little further. I believe I am precieving the effot to be harder than it is based on my HR. I'm ready to be at 10-12 miles with this effort! Just got to get where I don't sweat out in the process!
