7 easy miles in the heat, which wasn't as bad as Saturday. There was at least a nice breeze. I hate the areas of my run where there is limited shade. There is a 1 mile stretch that marks the edge of what we'd to be the base that makes ,e want to cry every time, and I run along this stretch for almost every route. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

I ran in the dark when it was a little cooler. I don't even remember much because I forgot to blog it, but I think I ran a different route than normal.

I ran in the late afternoon, so I tried a route that took me in more shade. I am bad at blogging.

Cooler and less humid today. I was off to a creaky start with a 9:33 first mile, and then decided to try a little pacing experiment. I tried to see if I could decrease my pace by 10 seconds every mile (leaving the 8th mile for cool down). I didn't do it exactly, and I think the hardest part was feeling always like I had to adjust my pace slower or faster depending on what my garmin said. If I ever try this again, I'll rely less on the watch. Splits were 9:33, 9:27, 9:14, 9:06, 8:56, 8:43 and 8:30. Then a 9:00 mile cool down.
