Another good finish to a solid week of training. But I am really ready for the mugginess to go away. It was 63 degrees and 90% humidity this morning at 7am for my run. Later in the day it was 73 degrees and 89 percent humidity. This type of weather is VERY unusual for Seattle. It was also very noticeable during my run even at 7am.
THe workout was a 11+1 with 11 at marathon pace plus 1M at something faster. All the miles were in the 5:21-5:29 range so that was good. The humidity made me work a bit harder to get there. The final mile was in 5:15...about all I cared to muster at that point.
Despite the mugginess, it was a beautiful run through the back roads of Fall City and Carnation. I'm blessed to live and run in such a beautiful place. |
