Tough run this morning. I ran the Cochet Spring Loop since I was unsure of the status of the high school track (While cooling down on my way back home I swung by the track. It doesn't look like that project is moving very fast.)

I adjusted my times to account for what I estimated the heat index to be. My estimate turned out to be right on. It's a good thing I adjusted as the workout in these conditions was really taking the starch out of me by the time a started the last leg. Of course, I ran the early intervals too fast and also ran the recoveries too fast. This is typical for me and usually sets up for a bad ending.

I was glad to get this one in and look forward to tomorrow's rest day.
