5:42 AM 81° 87% 5 mph

"Enjoyed" a challenging long run with the group this morning. Randy, Stacey, and I tracked +15 miles (a bit short of my 16-mile plan). Biff and Jonathan started with us. Biff took a shortcut back after about 7.5 miles and Jonathan broke off when we were close to the cars before circling Memorial Park to end it. William met up with us shortly after Biff broke off and finished with us.

No one had a particularly good run today. Even talking to Wayne's group in the parking lot, it was a tough day for them too. It simply had to be the heat and humidity. The normal pace can't be sustained under the conditions. This run did, however, salvage the week for me.

I went to work from the run and felt lousier as the day progressed.
