90 degrees in the gym.  90.  Couldn't exactly take my business elsewhere though so I hit the TMs (no fan again - dang)!

3 warmup miles @ 8:34

4 tempo miles @ 7:16 avg. (7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 6:52)

They actually had sports on the TVs in front of the machines today (50 greatest baseball moments) so it helped a lot.  Last time they had a show on about frumpy women getting a makeover which was not so helpful.  Anyway, feeling pretty good about the run.  Doing the math, the last 5K today would've been about a 10-second PR so it will be nice to race one eventually and get a real time.

Frumpy women. LOL!

Last time I ran on the TM I had two fans blowing on me and I am sure it was only in the 70's! I can not believe you can run in that stifling heat inside!! I guess sports on TV will do it.

heh - I think frumpy is the right word..? If I was a woman, it would be my middle name.

Kelli - yeah it's sad my performance is dependent upon what's on the TV more than anything..

All my gym ever has on is ESPN and soap operas. I do have to say that ESPN has very entertaining commercials.

Wow - speedy fast tempo miles, with a nice 5K PR!!! Hey, no dishing frumpy old women . . . But, I do agree some shows would be much more interesting and fun to run to than others!
