It's been a busy week with my best friend in town - Adventure Island, Fort DeSoto State Park, MOSI - but I continued my training as prescribed. On Friday night, I ran the course to the left - there and back, modified with four 30s sprints at the end of the main run, spaced a minute apart. It was about 77 degrees, so I'm happy with just over 6 mph - 4.31 miles in 42:56. This Florida humidity is rough. I feel like my shorts are going to come off due to the weight of the sweat...lol. I worked out on the elliptical after work on Saturday for 30 minutes for my cross training.
Tonight was the week's endurance run, which is supposed to be run at an easier, relaxed pace. I ran 6.2 miles in 61:36 - a pace similar to Friday's run. It was hot and humid again tonight - about 80 degrees, at 10:30pm. Ick. I need to start getting up at sunrise to run...maybe next week.
I did end the night with a dip in my apartment's pool and jacuzzi and a big glass of Gatorade, which was a nice change - and good motivation to finish up quickly.
