Man it is HOT Out There!

Today was a scortcher in Chicago. It was hot an humid. So naturally I went on a 4 mile run this evening. Now had it been earlier in the day I would have died. I felt pretty good out there tonight. I decided to change up the interval due to the heat. Instead of 8/1, I did 6/1. This worked well in the sweltering heat.

Lots of folks were running after work. Some even seemed not to mind the heat, and greeted me as I would go by. That was nice.

I felt much better today than in the botched 10 mile attempt last weekend. While I doubt I could have done 10 miles.....I was fine with 4.

This was a tempo run, and I did negative splits, so something worked. My pace was 11:45/min. Not too shabby. I still have a 6 mile and a 10K to run this week. Hope it gets a touch cooler.
