alright Uhhh 5 mi 00:35 07:04 pace
Oh boy - it was probably against my better judgement to do speed-work out in this heat & humidity. I did it anyway. The goal was 6 x 800m intervals (1/4-mile rest in between) at 5K goal pace (6... read more

good Lunchtime 6 6 mi 00:44 07:17 pace
Had a lot of my mind today so the lunch run was therapeutic in a way. Haven't had too many beautiful days like today, low-70s, sunny, breezy - real nice runnin' weather.

Had a narrow window to get a run in today so it had to be short and quick. Pretty stuffy out there - got in just before it poured.

As the Minnesotans say, "oofda." Hot and humid out there today with very little breeze. Got a good sweat in for sure.

I love MN, I lived there for 18 years before coming to Chicago. And I agree Lynn, summers there can be just as hot and sticky as the summers here.

Thanks Erin - we'll see, I ran 20:01 at this race last year, but the temps we in the low-70s so I think the weather will be more cooperative this year. That said, with the new baby my mileage has taken a big hit and I'm not sure what kind of shape I'm in. Good luck to you on Monday!
