Nice run wanted to go for 5 miles. Ran up Wade Rd. I do think the heat might be the problem with my motivation after this run I was drenched in sweat. I did feel better after today's run it is nice to see the progress I've made over the last 9 months. I wouldn't have been able to run for a whole 5 miles let alone up this road which I felt like had some steep hills on it. Now 8 minute miles for 5 miles without being too wiped out afterwards.
