77F, 80%. Intent today was 6 easy, 6 @ TT (6:37), with 6:40s being acceptable due to the warm morning. After the 6 easy, I was pretty sure I didn't have my A-game but I started the tempo portion. Amost immediately missed my turn and went a good ways before I realized it. I got my bearings and found another way home, but the new route had a lot more ups and downs. The first 2 miles seemed to have a lot of downhill, and sure enough, for the next 2 miles it was payback time. I'd pretty much wilted at that point as the sun was fully out. I did 1 more and called it good at 5, and jogged home. Survive to run another day..
The 5 tempo miles were 6:45 AP. 6:41, 6:34, 6:51, 6:55, 6:44
Felt completely opposite from 2 weeks ago. Well, this summer is bound to have some failed runs like this, just the nature of the beast when it's hot. As long as I keep trying and get in some good efforts, I think I can make it worthwhile. |
