Week 2 was a good week for me. My weekday 3 mile runs were all under 30 minutes, and Wednesday's run was one of my fastest ever. I placed respectably in a Duathlon on Saturday; I held my own during the run legs, but the biking held me back.
Sunday's long run was brutal, though. I started at 9:00 in Biloxi, but by then it was way too hot to be running. I had to stop twice for walk breaks, which is unusual for me since I've finished a few 6 and 7 milers without stopping before. The silver lining is that my 6 mile time was under 1:20:00, so even with the heat and walk breaks I beat my 6 mile time from last week. However, at around 15 minutes the last mile was one of my worst mile times, so I'm not celebrating yet.
My plan is to start these long runs at night; I'll either stay up late or wake up very early to get them done. The thought of 10+ miles on the treadmill doesn't excite me, but I don't want to risk heat stroke either.
Thanks for reading!
