good Tempo Tuesday 6.2 mi 00:44 07:01 pace

Tempo Tuesday - was pretty tough conditions out there for a tempo run. 77 degrees, 98% humidity with a light rain falling. This run didn't look so great on the stat sheet - but it was really solid tempo "effort" if not pace.

Splits were: 7:16, 6:54, 7:10, 7:01, 7:08, 6:58 with a closing .20 at 6:47 pace.

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

    Nice job Joe, it really is more about the effort than the result, isn't it?

    Must be something in the Texas air .... My experience was similar this morning. Way to get it in, Joe.

    Great effort and pace, Joe. I've run in those conditions a lot this summer, and there's no way to accurately translate how tough it is. Really nice job.

    When the weather is like that, all you can do is give it your best effort and not worry so much about time. You did great!

    Based on these conditions, I'd say that's a pretty SOLID tempo, Joe! Hopefully you'll be in line for a little less humidity and a lot more cool weather real soon. But runs like this on days like this build champions!

    Thanks guys! @Winston - I think about that a lot when the weather conspires against us .... somewhere somebody is taking it easy when you are not .... on race day, they'll regret it! Best to you guys.

    Great tempo. You need to make a trip to the midwest for comfortable fall running temps!

    Yes, several days of cooler conditions made this new onslaught of humidity feel even mor oppressive! Way to slog through it for a fine run, Joe!

    Nice effort Joe! Outstanding effort - good luck on Thursday with those slippery hills of Austin - perhaps a naked Wednesday is in order to prep for the workout :)

    @Brendan - absolutely - full on naked tomorrow - just going to go out for an easy 8 and enjoy the rain. There is something so soothing about being out there hearing the rain fall all around you .... doesn't get any better.
