Six miles at 10:00 pace should not be HTFU material, but it was tonight. Of course, still being almost 90 degrees at 9:00 when I started didn't help either (that's 9 PM). Stopped twice for water, but did not succumb to the walk monster, and actually picked te pace up after the last water break, with the last full mile in 9:04. I'm probably making it more difficult on myself by running so slow, but the heat... Anyway, hope to find out tomorrow that I can start work Tuesday or Wednesday. That would be nice. So would a paycheck.

Up at 5:45 for four slow miles (although I didn't go out until 6:30, to let it get light). Reasonably cool, although humid. Then did four hill sprints at the end. Not sure yet if I'll run tomorrow. Also not sure if I'll work tomorrow, although I doubt it.
