Interval Run

Distance: 5.36 miles
Time: 55:05
Pace: n/a

Comments: Since I nixed the fourth mile last week I decided to just stick to that regimen this week and next. So this worked out to six half-mile intervals with two minute rests in between plus the requisite .75 mile warmup and cool down.

The heat and humidity are still holding strong and making my running life miserable. There is supposed to be a change in the next few days but that means a good possibility of rain runs. For now, another sweaty mess of an effort.

1 0.5 3:57
2 0.5 3:24
3 0.5 3:34
4 0.5 3:26
5 0.5 3:28
6 0.5 3:33

Bottom line, I'm not doing these any faster. I'm trying to improve on cadence and mental focus but the fatigue of all the recent miles and the weather are making it unrealistic.
