Not too bad out, low 90s.  I took the white running hat and the ice water again to soak my head every few minutes.  That makes things much better.   Of course the water is warm by the end,  but it helps anyway.  I just cruised along.  No real creakiness in the legs at the start, which is nice.  I'll try for another tonight after the sun starts to set.  I need to start doing hill repeats.  I guess that'll start next week.  I don't want to toast my legs before my 5K this Saturday.   And next week starts my official marathon training for my November 14th race...I guess I should sign up for it soon.

4.5 at 7:26 pace

Did another run in the PM.  I ran hard on the uphills and normal pace on the rest.  This one tired me out. 

5.3 at 7:26 pace - weird - same pace in the PM

Good luck with your 5k this weekend and with your marathon training.

Well yeah, a second hard run in the same do will do that to you. Great job working the hill work into a normal run.
