Not the best of runs, head wasn’t in it and my body was in shock but I plugged through the heat and slalomed around the weirdoes of Venice beach to finish with a surprisingly decent time of 58:01, that’s only 30 seconds off my 10k race pace (which I feel is my worst PR) but even so not bad all things considered. I managed to pull it together for the last mile at least!
So some foam roller action tonight and a quick repack of the bag ready for tomorrow’s 8 miler. Hey it’s nearly Wednesday!
Way to hammer out a great pace in such hot conditions. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW. Where the hell is fall already??
ReplyDeleteAnd Stuart...dang, nice mile splits man - in this insufferable heat no less!
Wow, that was crazy hot!! Take care in the heat.
ReplyDeleteWay to plug through...LOL @ slalom through the weirdos of Venice.
ReplyDeleteMan I could really go for some 98 degree weather. It's starting to get cold up in here LOL
ReplyDeleteDamn, that hellish heat! It hasn't even been that hot here!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with 10ks? I think mine is my worst PR too. I HATE that distance.
ReplyDeleteHa! I've got nice cool weather in the 70's. :)
ReplyDeletewe used to live on venice beach - well, practically ... half a block up on Rose Ave. that is a lot of weirdo dodging!
ReplyDelete@ burger: Where is fall? It's here in Michigan and 45 degrees in the morning. Looks like another year of raking leaves in a winter coat.
ReplyDelete98 degrees? Ugh.
