I got in this morning’s 8.15 miles less than 12 hours after my earlier 8.12 miles yesterday. It was a challenge to push myself a bit and get back on track with my training. I awoke around 4:30am, was at my gym by about 5:15am, and in Central Park for my run near 6:30am. Boy, was it effin’ humid … 96% humidity and 78 degrees made it feel much, much worse than last night’s run in 86-degree weather. Rain did follow my last couple miles, which was kinda nice but didn’t help much. I kept it slow again, running 8:21s (Egad!) for 1:08:10. This is because I just want to build up miles and endurance, but it is also probably somewhat attributable to the ghastly humidity, 6 hours of sleep, run less than 12 hours before, not to mention hitting the gym before my run (which probably tired my muscles more). No loss, though: I did 16+ miles in less than 12 hours and that’s kinda cool.
No leg pain to report. Nothing much to report at all, actually. Just a slow run in gross conditions but didn’t cancel the run. That’s something worth noting, I guess. 🙂
