5 miles done! Wow, was it soupy outside! After all this hot & humid weather the past few days it finally rained & brought the temps down but raised the humidity & stickiness! Went to Alverthorpe Park to stay shady & to have the water fountain nearby!! I stopped at the water fountain the two times I passed it in the park for a quick drink & to splash my face/neck. Needed a few short walk breaks plus my left knee IT band was giving me a few twinges. All in all with the weather conditions I did OK. Slow, but OK all things considered. Ended up doing the 5 miles in one hour & 10 minutes. Lost about 5 minutes with the water breaks & the short walk breaks. So I'm about where I was earlier if I didn't need to stop & slow down.
Glad I got it done! I have exactly 8 weeks from today to get ready for the half marathon & need to up my long runs as soon as I can. Hope to do 6 miles next weekend. Please give me some cooler weather!!!! I may try going to the track a few times to work on speed as well. I wanna be ready!!!!
