Nice run kat! I don't think that was too slow at all. It makes sense to me that the long runs are about building miles, which means taking it plenty easy, and speedwork is speedwork. For the most part I really have to watch my pace on the longer runs.

Not today though. I don't know if it was because I'm still adapting to the heat, or maybe it was because my whole body was screaming from yesterday's ride and Saturday's yoga , but going slow was not a problem for me. 13 miles, at just about your same pace, which is over 2 minutes/mile slower than I ran the half in October (in much cooler and drier weather).

Anyway, every workout I feel more acclimated to the heat and humidity. DH was going out on some errands when I left for my run, so I asked him to get me a pair of compression hose from the drugstore, and I've got them on now. Considering how sore my legs were before my run today, I'm not sure I'll be able to notice any effects from the hose, but giving them a try! Yoga tomorrow. It's nice to be back around the corner from a fabulous yoga studio.
