Today was brutal. On the schedule, 2 mile warm up followed by 8 x 800m @ 2:36 with a 90 sec rest followed by 2 mile cool down. So, i ran 3 miles to the track and the started the workout. Unfortunately it was 87 degrees with a heat index of 97! Plus, no shade at all. After the 3rd interval, my times began to slide and i began to wither. By 800 number 5, i had to call it quits. My splits were:
(1) 2:35
(1) 2:34
(1) 2:38
(1) 2:40
(1) 2:45
As you can see, my times were sliding, and are an indicator that i need to stop. I ran 3 home, and called it day.......or not.
About 2 hours later, i went out with Ash for a 7 mile hill run around the streets. It was still brutally hot out, but it was manageable, plus with shotguns and traffic amok, i was not about to let Ash run alone. All in all, 16 miles for the day.
