Long intervals

There was a high of 88 today in Bloomington and I think when I ran at 4:15 it had just about reached that point.

Did 1.25 mile warm up, then 3 x 8:00 hard with 1:00 jogging rest. Same as last Monday, but I think I made it a tad farther this time so that is good I guess. Probably just fresher though, but the heat could be an equalizer. I'm surprised I made it farther because I was really dying in the heat. Total was 6.6 miles in 44:31 (6:44 ppm). Last week my time was 45:43 for the same course.

Took a shower as cold as it could go afterward and that felt great. My weight was 167.5 after the run, the lowest it's been yet and two pounds less than after yesterday's run. I must have lost a lot of water.
