Not much fun on this run that is for sure. Speedwork + 95 degrees = not fun. Not sure how you guys down south do it. Decided to go and do a run at 5:15 pm since I wanted to watch the Tour tonight. So headed over and it was windy and I thought that would help to cool things down some. But it just added to the not fun. Goal was 2 miles warm-up 1k @ 3:44 with 400m rest. Then a cooldown mile. Here is how it went. The last 1k I stopped after pushing hard for 400m and found I was on a 6:55 pace ARGH!! Walked a little then finished it.

Mile 1 8:39

Mile 2 9:15 Chatting with another runner

WOW, Mark! You did AWESOME!!! Those are speedy pace on a very hot and windy run. GOOD JOB!!! I hope you drank a lot. I would have run on the TM and watch the Tour at the same time. Was that what MrsFIT tell ya? :) You're a diehard! GREAT JOB!!!! So dedicated!!! 3:15 here you come!

MarcE- You guys got it hot down where you live. I don't know how you do it.

Smooth- I would take a drink after each one in the RI. It was tough.

Mark..Those temps are worse than what I run in plus when the sun is still up it feels even hotter and wind only makes it worse. The only way I survive down here is try to get most of my run done before the sun is up very far cause once it's up it gets ugly. Evening runs are out too because it doesn't even start to cool down until about midnight.
