It's not too late to remember a simple lesson about training in the summer: running in the morning is always better. Always. Let's see if I can keep that in mind over the coming weeks (months) as the heat and humidity continue to punish my late afternoon and/or evening runs.
No long run on Saturday this week -- moving to Sunday to accommodate a few schedules. And remember what I wrote just a few days ago about being "so ready for some flatlands." Yeah. I should have looked ahead at our plan for this weekend. We'll be meeting up at Lebanon Hills, a park out in Eagan. According to the e-mail I received earlier today from our coach, I should "be prepared for a lot of hills."
Also: "we run even if it is raining."
Bring it hills. Bring it rain. You're not the boss of me.
Thursday's run: 4 miles in 00:38:40 (9:40/mi).
Today's run: 2.5 miles in 00:23:30 (9:24/mi).
Total mileage: 105.5 miles.
