Comments: Zero enthusiasm for this one. Got out the door finally, but a bit later than I would have liked. The result was one of the more formidible heat/humidity combos in awhile. Oh, and since I stayed on main roads, the sun was a beast as well.
I was really feeling all of it on the second half which was almost completely uphill. By the end I was pretty beat.
So it was a bit of a shock to see only a sliver of the effort was in the maximum heart rate zone. Two thirds of the effort was in Zone 4; something more common for recovery runs.
