12 on the levee. I'd planned to sleep in due to forecasts showing heavy weather from Hurricane Nate. Unfortunately that was not the case, and I missed the good part of the day for no reason. I wanted to get 14-16 miles, but it was high-80s by the time I got out and the humidity was brutal. I was so overheated by the end of this run, the last mile was 8:30. 7:40 average for the run.

AM - I'm groaning to myself about even recording this. Not a pretty run this morning.

2 x 2 mile + 1 mile @ threshold w/ 2:00 rests was the plan. Conditions were okay (74F air/ 74F dew point).

11:06 (5:32, 5:34)

11:30 (5:37, 5:53)

5:49

Legs felt like lead. One reason I like to record conditions is so I can compare workouts. While it was obviously very humid, these are better conditions than I had most of the summer. Still waiting for the sub-70 dew points, but still. I have no explanation for feeling so poorly.

PM - 6 stroller miles w/ Rylie.
