So I couldn't get my but out of bed this morning so I decided I would run over my lunch hour and try and get 6 miles in whit 2 mile repeats. Overall that was a pretty pour choice since it had been raining off and on and was 86 degrees out with 19mph winds. With humidity the radio on the way back to work said it felt like 98 degrees. No wonder why I was dead by the end of the run and way over heated!!
2 mile warm-up; 7:24, 7:05 way to fast but this was with approximately 1 mile with the wind at my back.
2x1mile with 3 min rest: 6:09, 6:17 pretty good but I was definitely over heating by the end of number 2. I thought about quiting after the first one since it was so hot but then I really only have 2 weeks before the alumni race and with being sick this month my training feel apart for this race so I need a jump start with speed workouts like I have had this week. Overall legs were a little tired still from Tuesday's speed and strength session but no pains. Took the 2 miles home in a lot slower pace around 7:45-7:50/mi. Had a watch malfunction so I dont have a total overall time or pace.
