Today was tempo run. So this one was ran a bit late at night. And I decided to run this one on the TM so I could not only hit my splits but also be able to see them too. And to not have to carry my water on it. Ran at the club house and it was a bit hot and humid in there. But doable by all means. Started out with it easier then kicked up the pace and incline. So its 1 mile warm-up then 10 miles at MP(7:26). The treadmill doesn't hit 7:26 so ran it at 7:24. After the first 5 miles I was drenched. Just not enough air flow in there to cool me off. So peeled off my shirt. Felt good for a time but by mile 7 my shoes were sloshing along. Oh boy mile 8 was I was so drenched and the treadmill had a new sound too it. Poor thing was getting drenched now too. And started to get a nice chaffing action going on. Put up with it till mile 10 and felt I could still go if I needed to. But the chaffing wasn't worth the pain it was causing. So called it up a mile short. Still felt really good about the run and on the walk home was regretting my decision of ending early. Splits were Mile 1 8:40 2-10 7:24
