4.2 miles up tempo

After some serious groin stretching I ran 40 minutes up tempo. The temp was 70, but the humidity 90%. I think this may have been the most humid morning of the summer at the lake. Groin loosened up after 1 mile or so (9:35) and felt pretty good after the 2nd mile (9:20). The humidity started getting to me in the 2nd half of the run, and I didn't have the pace I wanted. I finished 4.2 miles in 40:22 (9:36 ppm). The positive thing is I was able to put forth a good effort with minimal tightness in the 2nd half. I'm sure I would have gone faster with Lisie pushing me, however.

Total miles for August is 19.4.
