Ran at 2pm...long story.  It was HOT, so just kept the pace super easy and called it a day early...had planed to do 7 miles.  Jumped in Barton Springs immediately after the run, which felt fantastic.

Warm up, 6 x 1000 with jog across fiedl as recovery thenjog home.  Maybe a touch cooler, but very humid.  Not a vintage performance.

Warm up thenn the plan was 4 miles of tempo/progressive type run.  However, I'm coping so well with the conditions of late so I went for 4 miles to average around 7:10/15 pace and I managed to pull it off.  Obviously nothing earth shattering, but a lot better than last time ;o).

What a Muppet!  Went out too hard and paid the price.  Felt dizzy after 10 miles so just jogged back to base and headed home.  Very dissappointed, but at least I was smart enough to quit before I did anything really stupid!
