Today was hot and humid. I stepped out the door at 5:20 AM and it was already seventy and the air was thick with humidity. Nothing about this run felt right until about half way through the third mile. I originally was hoping to run five miles today but due to some time constraints and even more so because of how I was feeling and the weather I ran four which is what I was scheduled to do. I still would like to get two five milers in this week even though only one is scheduled for this week. My first two miles were identical coming in at 8:12 a piece. The next was an 8:01 which I was hoping would be under eight minutes but the way this run went I was happy to get my four miles in any way I could. By mile four I finally felt warmed up so I decided to attempt to gut it out and run a 7:35 mile to drop the average mile pace to eight minutes per mile overall. I ran the final mile in 7:34, one second to spare. : ) I am going to do some cross training this afternoon and ice and elevate my ankle as I was dealing with foot pain through the first two and a half miles today. I am happy that run is over and I'm looking forward to a stronger showing tomorrow.
4 miles in 31:59
