High tempo-ature run

It was 90 degrees today but low humidity, but then at 4 pm a thunderstorm rolled through. The sun came back out, and by the time I ran at 5 pm Bellaire was like a sauna.

Ran 4.5 in 28:35 (6:21 ppm), which is a course record (old 28:50 on 6/26/08). Felt crappy throughout the first mile but was surprised to see I clocked a 6:02. I was 14:20 at the church turnaround and 22:15 at 3.5; I clocked a 6:20 final mile.

The heat was a killer today. First mile I felt bad because I was not warmed up. The rest of the time I felt a couple moments of energy but those were quickly tempered with the high temperatures. In the middle 2.5 miles of this run I go up 5 big hills, and that sucks even worse in the heat. I hope the fremont race is flat.
