Training week 6

In the interest of not boring myself to death, I'm eliminating listing the scheduled workouts. I've re-done the schedule to accomodate various weekend activities-- always a good idea to mess with your schedule! (NOT). So anyway, here's week 6:

Monday:

Smoky. Ugh. Did 4 miles in 42:xx in 90 degrees, 60% humidity.

11:00/10:15/10:09/10:57

Tuesday:

Smokier. I refuse to run. (And Harry has an eye appointment).

Wednesday:

Ran 9 miles at 4:30 a.m. in 1:31:xx. 76 degrees, 95% humidity. Ave. pace 10:13 m/m

11:28/10:29/10:00/10:02/10:07/9:43/9:53/10:04

Thursday:

Ran 4 miles in afternoon in 40:30. 91 degrees, 50% humidity.

10:24/9:55/9:50/10:20

Friday:

Ran 9 miles at 4:30 a.m. in 1:28:xx. 66 degrees !!!!!, 95% humidity. Ave. pace 10:13 m/m

11:09/9:57/9:34/9:39/9:28/9:47/9:36/10:01

Saturday:

Rest! Played with kids in pool at SSI. The boys are insane in the pool.

Sunday:

Ran my long run at St. Simons. 12.33 miles in 2:08:xx. 5:30 a.m. I didn't write it down, but I'm going with 80 degrees and about 10000% humidity.

11:31/10:18/10:25/10:24/10:09/11:04/10:45/10:21/10:08/9:58/9:43/10:25

So my mom has been heckling me about running in the morning. I didn't really understand until I ran in St. Simons. It's hot, muggy, DARK, and stinky. The sidewalks wind around and are uneven, the sprinklers are going off everywhere (including across the sidewalks), branches are ridiculously low, the flashlight is necessary the whole time, everything stinks, and you spend most of your time wondering if a creature is going to pop out of the marsh and eat you. Not doing that again...
