So the week wasn't great, because I missed two days of running and thereby it was impossible to get to my mileage goal, but I had a decent VO2 max workout today. I ran 5 x 800 meters at around 2:55 each. Given that it was 81 F and insanely humid (right after lots of rain), I'll take it.

Yesterday I ran with my running body, Gerard, who made me work way too hard. Of course one of the problems was that I ran to his workplace (already 2.7 miles) in a very hot weather at around 100 degrees heat index (and sunny), then we ran 5 miles together, then I was supposed to run back to campus. So he was fresh when I already was at mile 3, and the heat was a major factor. After a while my body can't fight it off when it's that hot. I had to walk the last mile back. Given this just some 30 hours before my workout, it's even better.
