H-O-T…HOT! That is the best way to describe today’s run. The humidity and warm temperatures are back. I was hoping the storm we had the other day was going to keep it a little cooler, but I was definitely wrong.
We started our run around 4:50 pm and it was HOT! The temperature was 95 degrees with about 55% humidity. Ugh! Training in this weather should make the 26.2 miles in October easier, since we are hoping it is a little cooler by then.
Despite the heat and humidity, we finished our 5 mile run faster today than we did last week. We finished our 5 mile run in 58:30, which is an 11:42 pace. That is 0.61 faster per mile than our current pace had been. We ran a new route today as well. Thanks to www.dailymile.com it is much easier to map out a new route, so we don’t get tired of running the same thing. Then run was really good. We both felt great and were able to run at a pace that we both were comfortable at. It is amazing to think how 5 miles used to seem so long. Today, however, it seemed kind of short.
It is hard to believe we have run 44 total miles so far during our training. We have 13 more miles to log this week, which will bring us to a grand total of 57 miles in our first three weeks of training.
Today's run summary:
