Speed work at SHS this morning before work. Didn't want to do it, made myself anyway. I wouldn't say I feel better but I'm glad I got out there.

This was supposed to be a tempo run like 7:50 pace. Legs didn't have it, it was humid, we ran the amphitheater route the wrong way, and the whole thing just sucked. Finally got to run with Debbie Lashley which is nice. Also met Lia's daughter (the only one I beat). Hank drove over too. Overall 6.9 in 59 and change. I think I would have finished 7 in an hour if I'd pushed it, and that included some walking. A tough run, but hopefully one that will pay dividends in, oh, early October.

Run at the Schoolhouse with the fasties. I wasn't one of them. Four miles hard trying and failing to keep up, six miles of struggle. Got it done, got to 1000 miles for the year. That's the only good thing. It was miserable. Dewpoint in the mid 70s.
