Monday again.

My first week unemployed = lots of painting this week. But first things first. Up and out for an easy 5. Felt a little stiff right out of bed, but by the end of the run I was feeling fine. I'm planning on running at Lake Tak again this evening, but we'll see how I feel after spending the day outside (in the shade and moving very slowly.)
I finished up the day with another win. My slowest yet, but still a win. This was also the worst conditions yet. Hot, high humidity, but at least it was overcast. First mile in 5:46, I felt like it was faster. Second mile 6:00, also felt faster. Clearly I was working harder to maintain the pace I think mostly because of the humidity. By the time I was into the last lap I could really feel the oxygen debt, it just felt like there was no air, like breathing through a wet sponge. Held it together for a 6:03 last mile, finished @ 18:25. (Plus, I think the 19 miler yesterday may have taken some of the edge off my speed for today
There was one guy hanging with me through two miles I think, he wound up maybe 10 seconds behind. Warm up and cool down made it 5, and 10 for the day.
