Considering it was in the 60s with about 90% humidity and 15mph winds, I’d say this was a really good run! I was a little nervous about it going in, because I had a ton of stuff to do in a short amount of time between the run and Cooper’s birthday party at 1pm. Apparently, stress is bad for you! Who knew? There were times when I felt really good during the run and times I felt like quitting. I’m glad I stuck with it, because I kicked that last mile’s butt! I busted out a sub-7:00 pace at one point. I really hope I can keep this pace up over the long haul, and I’m praying for cooler temps and 0% humidity!
