Today I went for a run and logged 9.5 miles of fun and speed. Yesterday we had killer storms all day and by time the rain cleared it was a steamy evening. The next day I opted to keep my planned six mile run with a friend and added on as many 800s as I felt I could do. Our morning run was a great run due to the cloudy start. Who knew the sun could change a run so much!? After I drove to the track and added 5x800s. Of course as I pulled up the sky cleared and the sun made its grand appearance.
I took a lap to find my groove and jumped into it. I felt good as I took two loops around the track each time. I jogged a ninety seconds recovery then walked to my starting mark. The last two 800s I could feel myself melting in the sun, but I pushed through five. At the end of my morning I had an easy six miles with a friend and another three and a half miles of speed. Feeling good!
