Whew...another hot one this morning...well...humid anyway. I will be curious to see what I feel like once the heat and humidity go down a bit. 

I ran with Kelly again today. We push each other and that is good. I ran a mile before we met. I wasn't sure how far we were going to go but I figured at least 5 and according to my schedule I needed 6 this week. 

I ran the first mile and had a nice cool down before I met Kelly. We reversed our route this week so we had some of the hills at the beginning instead of the end. that really helped.
The first 4 miles were pretty good. But the heat and humidity were getting to me again. So we took it easy on Miles 5 and 6. We ended up walking more than running but were still walking at a good pace. 

I hope to be able to get to a decent pace when I run a 10K with Karen in October. I am still short of a 10K distance and I am struggling. It is still 5-6 weeks away so we will see. 

I am glad I have started this training soon than later. It can get discouraging, but this way I have a few extra weeks of training under my belt.
