Today was one of those rare days that everything felt easy so I took advantage of that and did a few faster miles. After 3 easy I did 3 x 1 mile at 6:40 with 1 mile easy recovery then 3 easy cool down. Even at the end of the 3rd fastish mile my HR was only in the low 140s and it dropped quickly into the 120s as I slowed back down. Not sure why it was all so easy today but I’ll take it. Also did my core work.

10 this morning with Blake, 91 degrees. Blake has been doing all his running indoor on a TM and he was hurting out there with the heat this morning. We have done a lot of much farther runs together and I don’t recall him ever suffering so much. We took it really slow so he could make it. 

Then 4 more this evening.
