6x1:00-2:00/38"36 (3½ miles)

In theory today was supposed to be another interval workout, but in reality there were two problems with that: I was not ready to do intervals again, and I needed to just run in the heat.

The weather has been obligingly warm over the last couple of days, and so it was really rather pleasant this morning when I went out (with my water pack, which I haven't used for a run from work before). Ideal conditions to do a bit of warmth training, if not exactly heat training.

It went really well, too. I felt so much better than I did on Saturday when I had to abort the eight miler, and it was warm enough for me to notice the heat and feel good about punching through it without being so hot as to leave me absolutely prostrate.

Having the water helped, I am sure.

I'm hoping to do a make up run on Thursday morning with CK to cover distance I didn't get to on Saturday; we'll see about Thursday evening. Probably doubtful right now.
