Back out on the trail today, despite rising humidity and having run my speed training yesterday. We were trucking along pretty good but after 3.5 miles, Julie and Mark both decided to slow down; the combination of the speed work and the weather was just beating them down. I actually felt really good, though; maybe it was the Starburst I ate a half mile earlier. Whatever the reason, I creamed that last mile and a half (9:50min/mile pace for the last mile and a half). Outside sucked, but inside I was feeling great.
