Final Week of August Just Crazy

  Okay, I haven't blogged since Sunday's long run so I am going to have to smash 3 other runs into this blog. 
  Monday morning I got 5 miles in, with a temperature of 68 degrees and humidity of 100%, elevation gain only 77 ft. I ran the 5 miles in 56:06 with an average pace of 11:13 min/mile so I kept it really slow and easy.
Laps/splits were:
Mile 1 - 12:06
Mile 2 - 10:59
Mile 3 - 11:00
Mile 4 - 11:18
Mile 5 - 10:41
   Wednesday I wasn't able to go for my run in the morning, Dorian wasn't about to let me out of bed so I had to get my 6 miles in that afternoon. With 91 degrees and sunny, I was thankful that the humidity was around 44% but the sun didn't help a lot. I ran the Greenway, had my hydration belt with me and I am extremely grateful that I took it. Ran 6 miles in 59:44 with an average pace of 9:57 min/mile so I'll definitely call that a progression run even for the heat.
Laps/splits were:
Mile 1 - 10:27
Mile 2 - 10:04
Mile 3 - 9:50
Mile 4 - 9:32
Mile 5 - 9:40
Mile 6 - 10:08
   Friday morning I was able to get out and run my 5 miles and it was definitely a slow and easy run. Temperatures of 75 degrees and humidity at 89%,  I ran the 5 miles in 53:25 with an average pace of 10:40 min/mile.
Laps/splits were:
Mile 1 - 11:21
Mile 2 - 10:50
Mile 3 - 10:26
Mile 4 - 10:47
Mile 5 - 9:59

    Other than the two 4 mile walks on Tuesday and Thursday, I topped off August with 103 miles of running, my second triple digit month. Pretty awesome, though hopefully September will see 110 miles, or at least more than 105. Today I am going to pretty much rest and hope I survive the 10 mile long run tomorrow, it is supposed to be 75 degrees, humidity between 85-90% and dew point around 71 but supposedly cloudy and 30% chance of rain so maybe I will get lucky and get rained on. Next Saturday I have my 15k race and it is supposed to start cooling off this coming week, I am so ready for summer and the heat to be over with.
