12 Mile Hot Run

Whew, HOT. Got started a bit after 7, it was already 80 out with high humidity and not a cloud in sight. I took about 3 walk breaks every mile, so it was slow going. Legs felt fine at the end, but I was pretty beat overall. Stayed hydrated for the run, so all was well.  Ran mostly in the wooded area up at the lake to take advantage of the shade as much as possible. 12 miles in 2:21:29, avg pace of 11:47, splits of 11:03, 10:49, 11:04, 11:09, 11:59, 11:36, 12:18, 11:52, 11:56, 12:12, 12:52 and 12:35. Average heart rate was 162 overall, but that was kept down by all the walk breaks, when running it was getting over 170 frequently. Will need to get up earlier for the longer runs coming up.
