7.6 miles: A river of sweat

Today I ran to the park across town, did the mile loop there, and then ran back.  It was overcast, in the lower 80s but humid. I was soaking in sweat by mile 3 but had a decent run overall.

6 miles: Good

Today I ran 6 miles around the soccer fields. The plan was for 5 but it was cloudy, in the upper 70s, and I had time for another mile and so I ran it.  Good run. It was humid but the conditions  were about as good as they get this time of year.

5 mile Starbucks run

I ran to Starbucks and back. The weather was decent. My legs were tired but overall it was a good pace run.

16 miles (Saturday): 3 part run

Yesterday afternoon I ran 16 miles around the soccer fields. An open bathroom and a water supply kept me at the park rather than running around town. It was sunny and in the upper 80s. It wasn't the ideal time to run but it's what fit the family schedule this weekend.  

The first 10 went well for a summer run. My pace was about what it should be for a long run. The next 4.5 were decent - I slowed down some on purpose and some just because I had already run 10. Overall the first 14.5 miles went well for an upper 80's summer run.  The last mile and a half went slowly. I may have done that distance faster by power-walking rather than doing the slow running crawl I did.

Overall- I'm happy with this run as the goal was the distance and the overall pace was decent given the conditions.

5 miles (Friday): Best

Friday afternoon I had a very good run around the soccer fields.. I ran the first two miles at a 5k place and then did periods of faster and slowing running for the next 3. It was warm and sunny but not awful (just merely bad).

5 miles: Better

This was a decent run for the summer. It had to go better than yesterday but it also helped in was in the mid 80's and with lower humidity than normal.

3.2 miles: Worst run of the year candidate

The plan was to run 5 miles. My energy levels were ok the first mile but dropped to near zero after that.  The next run has to be better.
