Tough six miler tonight in hot and humid conditions. Luckily I was well hydrated otherwise it could have been a real struggle. I managed to run the first five miles progressively faster before finishing up with a slower last mile to “cool down”.
Splits: 7:28 7:23 7:17 7:05 6:46 7:15
I’m looking forward to the warmer weather but it’s going to take a good few weeks to get used to the heat and humidity of Virginia Beach in the summer. Should be an interesting couple of months…
Your last mile was still faster than your first two. Not bad. I probably should know this already. But, you training for anything?
Well to start with there’s a fun July race with my wife Allyson in Richmond, VA – http://www.muddybudy.com – a 6-7 mile event with biking, running, obstacles and an infamous mud pit.
The big race in September is the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach, VA where I’m hoping to run a course PR.
And I guess the big one for 2008 is the Richmond Marathon in November where I’ll be giving 150% to run sub 2:50.
Of course there will be numerous shorter events to satisfy my love of racing, but these are the big three.
What are your plans?
