Monday Night's Easy 5 and Tonight's hot and muggy 7

  Monday night was really good, Shauna was feeling great and although it was supposed to be an easy run our average pace was 10:15 min/mile, we ran 5 miles in 51:19, relatively easy but it felt slower. Our splits were:
Mile 1 - 10:54
Mile 2 - 10:07
Mile 3 - 10:28
Mile 4 - 10:02
Mile 5 - 9:46
  Pretty good overall, I was happy that Shauna felt good and was able to keep that kind of pace. 
  Tonight I ran by myself, Shauna wasn't feeling to great and promised she would try and run tonight. I ran 7 miles in 1:08:02 with an average pace of 9:43 min/mile so I will consider this something of a progression run, it was a tough one though. 81-85 degrees and a bit muggy, and my legs were tired from last night's 3 mile walk with Dorian. I almost did just 5 miles but then pushed to 6 and then said screw it and ran the planned 7.
My splits were:
Mile 1 - 10:21
Mile 2 - 9:40
Mile 3 - 9:46
Mile 4 - 9:33
Mile 5 - 9:27
Mile 6 - 9:49
Mile 7 - 9:25

   It was tough, and I am definitely tired and really want to either take long hot bath or go to sleep. Tomorrow I've got an easy 5 miler planned, we'll see how it goes... I hope it is a bit cooler than today and that Shauna runs with me.
