The plan was to wake up before my meetings today and do my workout before the heat and humidity of the afternoon. Missed my alarm. Oops. So I had to wait until this afternoon. Total bummer. It wasn't crazy hot but even 72 degrees and 65% humidity is out of control for this Seattle boy.

The workout was a 4-mile tempo at 5:15 followed by a 2:00 rest and then one mile at 5:08. Let's just say I would take the high altitude of Denver over the humidity of the Midwest any day of the week. I was absolutely drenched and could not cool down at all. All of my miles were in 5:16-5:20. So not terrible but exhausting. The final mile was in 5:12. Missed badly but the effort was there.

Had a very early flight home from Madison this morning so I woke up at 3:30am and ran 8 miles. When i got home I ran another 5.25. What a crazy long day. Glad to be back home.

Hosted the 22nd Annual Fall City Days fun run this morning. It was my first year as race director which meant little time for a run this afternoon in the rainy, crappy weather.

I did manage 13.25. The workout was 3x2M @ 5:15 pace. It was one of my better workouts despite being absolutely exhausted. All my miles were in the 5:08-5:14 range.
