5 miles

Was wanting to get going earlier, but by the time I was heading out, it was nearly 8am and again the temp was already over 80F. I walked a bit in every mile, but not much, mostly to try to get my heart rate down a bit because it kept getting into the high 170s. 5.00 miles in 52:24, avg pace of 10:28, splits of 10:20, 10:19, 10:39, 10:41 and 10:23. Avg heart rate was 170, with it being 177 and 178 for the final two miles. Cooler weather can't come too soon. Got my training schedule planned out to the Chicago Marathon. We'll see how well I can stick to it, but right now running is a bit of a chore, I could use a month off (:
