5 Mile Evening Run

Ran in the afternoon, was about 83F out, little wind, sunny, felt like fairly low humidity, but clearly my body isn't use to running in plus 80 weather. Started off OK, but by mile 2 my heart rate was pushing 170 and it kept creeping up. Had to take 2 walk breaks the 4th mile and 3 walk breaks the 5th mile as my hear rate hit 180. Overall pace wasn't too bad, but if I'm going to get faster, I'm going to have to push myself to do so, which might be tough during the summer. 5 miles in 51:39, pace of 10:19, splits of 10:05, 10:00, 10:11, 10:27 and 10:54. AHR of 170, with mile averages of 160, 168, 172, 173 and 175. Running Friday morning, so should be cooler then.
