T-Minus 92 Days and Counting. . .

My speculation about heat playing a role in tonight's 13-mile run was correct. After a day of storms, the sun came out in mid afternoon and we were hit with 80s and some humidity as we pushed off around 6:15. First 8 miles felt great but a few hills and the cumulative effect of the heat really took its toll during the last 5. Quads were heavy and feet hurt a bit but we pressed on and finished in decent shape, if not at a fast pace. Based on my weigh in this morning, I lost about 5 pounds during the run. Crazy.

Couple days off now, as we hit the road to Mackinac Island. Have 3 x 1600 intervals next week, followed by 5 miles and then 10 on Saturday as we "step back" for a week in preparation to "step up" the following week.
