Workout

It was only in the low 60's, but with the humidity up in the high 90's it was a swampy run.

Warmed up 2.48 miles(15:05),  drills, strides, uphill strides.

Workout was straight up 4.2 miles, 15 of my loops.  Goal was to run a little faster than goal marathon pace which is 5:35 pace.  So goal laps of about 1:32 which is about 5:28 pace..

4.2 miles-22:35(5:22 pace)  A little fast, but felt comfy, and my Heart rate stayed in the 160's the whole time.

With cooler temps. this would have been way easier.  I actually ran shirtless which I almost never do, but the slight breeze against the skin was very nice.

Once I got that first lap out of the way I fell right into my pace.  Last one was fast, but I only picked it up the final 20 seconds.

Cooldown 2.48 miles(14:45)

Total: 9.16 miles
