13.1 miles at 7:04 avg pace at 97 degrees

Well all that in the last post about only doing 6:30 short and fast workouts is a bunch of hooey. I tried on my run this afternoon to bang out the 630 and it just was not happening - my hamstrings were especially tight and unresponsive - so I settled on 7's and that felt good and so I went with it. Did the full half marathon distance at the park, and although the thermo said 97 degrees when I left the house, there was a light breeze that helped make the heat bearable. It is, after all, a dry heat(like an oven).

So I was probably overthinking the training issue - to get better, I just have to run more at whatever pace feels good. As long as I'm working, I'll get better. Hopefully ;)
