Holy hot workouts batman

yes, yes, yes - I do like the hotness and normally it does not bother me too much. Yesterday was a tough day because of a combo of the hot temps and my lack of fitness.

I had to do a combo workout yesterday and combine a variation of my next two run workouts. This is what I ended up doing

13 minute easy warm up
1.5 miles on the track at 85% - 9:45
13 minute easy paced run
1.5 miles on the track at 85% - 9:55
13 minutes cool down

each 1.5 mile segment was run at a negative split - I went through 3/4 of a mile at 5:00 on each of them - pretty happy with the result and it did not feel like my heart was going to explode - but man did I sweat a lot!

starting to a feel a little better with my workouts and looking forward to more mountain biking this weekend on the trails at Lake Louisa!

Everyone racing this weekend - have a great race!
