almost had a full workout at pace. I had 6 miles of tempo planned (3 miles, 3x1miles w/ 1:00 rest per mile). Started a little later in the evening to let things cool off, and it got to around 80 degrees with the usual humidity. First 3 were great, I went 16:02 (5:19, 5:22, 5:20), then turned around for the final 3x1 and found myself with a stiff headwind--10-15mph steady. 5:21 for the next one but then I was spent. Last two in 5:40, 5:36. I'm getting there.

I have to say the heat seems to do more than slow down my paces. I've had considerably greater muscle soreness and fatigue as well. I didn't expect that. I hydrate constantly (I feel like all I do between runs is drink water). I feel like in some senses I'm starting over from the beginning in my training.

I had a solid workout at City Park that confirmed my fears that I've lost a little shape. The weather's cooled and I was finally able to go full speed in a workout. 5x1200m @ 5k pace with ~3:50 rests.

3:43, 3:42, 3:39, 3:41, 3:42

I would have liked to run a little faster, but like I say, the fitness has suffered with a few weeks of lower mileage. Happy with the workout, though. There's enough time to build on it.
