Hot laps

Whew! A hot day, but I did well…at Bidwell! Hey, it rhymes.

I went 10 miles and I did it in 145 minutes. That’s obviously a 14.5 minute average per mile and I’m happy with that. I think I could have gone a few more miles, but not much more than that. The heat and humidity were wearing me down, but I did keep up the 4.1 mph average and that’s the important part of the training; not fading under pressure. And I was happy to get into the double digits (10 miles) at last. Maybe I can do a half marathon (13.111) next week?

This is a bad week for training as the temps are forecast to be over 103 for the entire week. Next weeks shows promise of getting back into the mid 90’s and that will be a relief.
