Up to Evanston - 6 Miles

Today was nice 6 mile run up to Evanston along Lake Michigan. It was a pretty sunny day. I think summer running is good and bad. The good is the sunshine...the bad the heat. I was actually fine until about 1 mile to go, then I felt the heat get to me. Otherwise it was a nice run today.

I ran at a touch over 12:00/mile, faster than marathon pace. I almost ran evenly. I ran 36:08 for the first 3 miles and 36:11 for the last half. Nothing wrong with that.

I wondered about the half marathon coming up in August. I think I will go for the 6/1 interval as opposed to the 8/1 attempt. I did the 8/1 interval for 4 miles, than with the heat, I cut back to a 6/1. It was a bit easier at that point.

I am pleased with today's run. And now I am enjoying a cool 7-Up. Ahhhhh......
