Did a hill workout similar to what we did a couple of weeks ago. These workouts are always tough but it did seem a bit easier to me than last time. Did 8 repeats like last time but did them a bit faster.

Another 8-mile morning. Felt a bit sluggish today for some reason maybe cuz it was warmer than the last few days and a bit muggy.

Got in 5 in the morning just before the rain started to pour, looks like Kim wasn't so lucky. Also went to the gym for 30 min XT.

Did some faster miles today. After 4 mile warmup did 6 mile tempo run with 3 mile cool-down. Cheated a little bit and ran net downhill but mostly flat the last 3 or 4 miles. Warmer and more humid than I would have preferred and I think I got a bit dehydrated. The 3 mile cool-down was a death march. I was hoping this run was going to be easier than it ended up being.

Tempo mile splits: 7:09, 7:12, 7:16, 7:13, 7:12, 7:05. Ave 7:11
