Was dreading running in this heat, but I actually felt good. I forget that humidity is my achilles heel, not the heat.

1M warmup (7:34) -- saw the Al Goldstein folks lining up for their 5K, and half thought about crashing the party. Actually, had I seen anyone I could have paced with (Matt S., J Geoffrey B., Mike G., Mark C., Keith W.), then I probably would have. Decided to start my tempo interval, then stop if I saw anyone I could race with.

2K tempo in 8:06 (6:31) -- didn't see anyone, so kept going up North Hill

1M @ 10K TPL in 6:09 -- took a break after this one to watch the racers going by

1K @ 5K TPL in 3:35 (5:46) -- felt strange doing this alongside the 5K folks, so I ran down Center Drive, where I ran by J Geoffrey B. (for the 2nd time in two days)

800m in 2:44 (5:28) -- ran past the race finish; in the opposite direction

0.86M cooldown (6:57) -- ran home, where I quickly turned into a puddle of water

Took longer breaks between intervals today to catch my breath, and not overheat. I understand the aerobic benefits in keeping your recovery times short, but this workout's more about speed than aerobic capacity, plus it is freaking hot out.

    Nice run- crazy pace! I ran in the heat this evening too, and yeah, it really wasn't as bad as I'd expected. I guess because the humidity isn't too bad? Of course, I was much much slower than this :)

    Humidity makes me feel sluggish and miserable and why am I not on the couch watching a crap movie. It's that bad ;-)
