Ohhhhh! Tired Legs...

...and everything else. It was 87 degrees and mostly sunny with a good breeze at around 6:30 pm. It didn't feel that hot, but I was sweating like crazy. I got cold during the last mile (Mile 6), but was still pouring out sweat.

Versus Monday's 8 and Tuesday's 4, today didn't go to well. My legs were tired from the get go. I even thought about walking a few times, but kept plugging along. I ran harder on Monday and Tuesday, trying to stay under 9:00 paces, and I did so, with my average heart rate at 170 for both days. Today, I was hoping to stay under 10:00 by just getting one foot in front of the other and my avg HR was 172. Not a big difference, but the amount of effort seemed to be a big difference. Well, may be not - I think it hurt more today than it did on those 2 runs.

The times by miles: 8:41, 9:06, 9:35, 9:35, 9:56, and 10:00. Total time: 56:53. Pace: 9:29. Heart Rates: avg 172, max 189, rest 64. Recovery 189 to 142.
