I had my alarm set for 4:50 a.m. so I could avoid the hot sun and also make it to an appointment by 9 a.m., but woke up at 4:25 and got out of bed then. Since I had a short drive to my route, the run started at 5:15. For the third time this week, there were raindrops. Today, though, there was very little rain and it didn't last long. It WAS humid and fairly warm - right around 80.
I had plenty of water and PowerAid, and I was at English Landing Park, so I just ran loops and stopped at the truck every three miles to hydrate.
I intended to run the whole distance pretty slowly, but now that I'm back and looking at the splits, I was under 9 min. on almost every split after the fifth mile. I guess that's OK as long as I wasn't wearing myself out.
I did 13 miles in 1:59:24, which is a 9:10 pace. For the week I logged 34.6 miles.
