Total Distance
4.16

Well my 40 minute tempo run was planned to be somewhere in the distance of 5 miles.  The 95 degree heat and humidity quickly make a detour in that plan.   My left calf started tightening up about the last mile but the whole run after the first mile was pretty miserable.  Averaged 9:36 / mile and splits were 9:06, 9:16, 9:49, and 10:06.  The miserable attempt at the last .16 as 10:11 / mile.   I did kind of freely run my course as I didn't know how long I would go.  Ironically I stopped right in front of my house at 40 minutes (39:59.84).   Wonder if this had anything to do with mentally knowing I was "almost done"?  I think I'm gonna try to do my 90 minute run this weekend (3rd of 4) and then another next weekend.  Then do 2 weeks of 10K's since I'm a week ahead.
