Tough run this morning
Long run on the schedule for this morning. Met up with Mike and left the neighborhood at 5:50. James joined us at St. Vincent's, just past the 2-mile mark. Headed for downtown to run a bridge loop. I haven't been doing a lot of running (other than races and speedwork) at sub-8:00 pace. That, plus the humidity made for a pretty tough run. Total mileage was about 10.75 miles. I lost 3 or 4 pounds on the run despite consuming a full water bottle of Heed and a water bottle of Endurox after the run. As the day has progressed, it doesn't seem as humid as it was this morning. Maybe it was all in my mind. Makes me nervous about the River Run.

Come on man...it's all a mind thing! Yeah, tough conditions for sure. I'm sure that there is significant cardiac drift in there as well. You were smart to dial it down the last miles and live to fight another day. You may want to do a very light day tomorrow before heading into Thu. track session. I'm planning on riding for ~1:15 from the neighborhood after work tomorrow. Easy spin with leg speed drills. Meanwhile, fuel up from this a.m.
