The original goal today was 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile. BUT...the wind and heat decided to suck the energy right out of me. So I ended up doing 3 miles, 2x1 mile. I ran my usual tempo loop around my neighborhood. 

3 miles: 6:09, 6:09, 6:15- 18:35
1 mile: 6:22 (into the wind and uphill) Blah!
1 mile: 6:06

I try not to make the weather an excuse, but it really sucked today. 80+ degrees and wind are hard to run a good workout in. I felt like I was running Des News!

Great workout. The difference between the temp yesterday morning and this morning was dramatic. No one likes Des News weather...except maybe Fritz.
