Close to 80 degrees out and muggy. Planned to run a couple of tempo's, so warmed up a mile before throwing down the first 2.5 mile tempo (6:24, 6:04, 3:15), and then crossed paths with Ed. He was in the midst of a 10-miler and I was already close to toast with the humidity, so I decided to see if I could stick with him at a firm pace for a while through the hills. He was running between 7:40 and 8min pace for a couple of uphill miles before things leveled out and then I timed out another 2.5 tempo (7:14, 7:18/uphill, 3:35). We jogged the rest in from there- I ended up w/11.5 miles total.

80's out when I started and cooled down as I went along. Ran first 10 of "Pie Hill" @ 7:40 pace and then trotted in extra 3.5 more slowly- 13.5 miles total.

Turned 41 today...felt it! Ran with Ed down to the track- very hot and humid. We did some "semi-speedwork" in the heat- 400 (88 sec), 800 (3:20), 1-mile (6:24), 800 (3:06), and 400 (84 sec)- jogged lapped between sets and then jogged home- 8 miles total. Did I mention it was hot outside? Glad to get that one under my belt!

The plan was to get a nice steady run in- it's still quite hot out and all I was looking for was miles. Found myself picking up the pace a bit and ran the first 7 miles through hills at a 7:18 pace- I gave myself 2 "mulligans" in the middle (.25 mile slow jog) to "cheat" a bit on the hills, and then halfway through mile 8 decided to jog in the final two. Felt ok.
