I tried to go running yesterday (Monday) morning at my dad's house but it was storming so I had to go running this morning instead.  I ran around his neighborhood again and back into Marcia's.  I think I started off too fast - my first mile was a 7:58 pace.  So by mile 4 and 5 I was feeling it.  Kind of crampy and really had to keep motivating myself to keep going.  I ran between a 7:58 and 8:11 the whole time.  It was so humid.  100% was what the weather said.

I'm back home.  Running on the treadmill.  The first mile I ran between a 8:34 and 8:13 to warm up.  Miles 3, 4, 5 I ran an 8:06 pace and felt really good.  I dropped down to an 8 the last 1/2 mile.

Great run on treadmill.  First mile worked down to a 8:06 mile.  Ran next 2 3/4 miles at that pace and the last 1/2 mile ran an 8:00 pace.

Ran outside in GA this morning.  Humidity is so so so miserable.  97% this morning.  It was so thick and hot - it made running miserable.  That and the fact that I had to use the restroom my whole run - with no bathrooms nearby.  I was hoping to run 7 miles but I hurt too bad and had to stop at 6.59.  This run on Dixie is hilly and with the weather - it is a harder run than my last week 7 milers in Ohio.  So I feel okay making it 6.59.
