More heat training

The official heat wave is over, but it has settled into temps in the 80s and relatively high humidity.  I ran 7.3 miles Saturday under warm conditions, but actually felt pretty good, and averaged 8:26/mile, with the last 3 miles at about 8:14 pace.  That gave me 30.5 miles for the week (high for me).  Did not run Sunday (weights and abs), then ran 7 miles today under even warmer conditions, 8:43/mile average.  Too hot for speed workouts or time trials.  I'll get onto the track as soon as it cools off a bit.

World track and field championships are coming up later this month, so I'm sure there will be numerous posts about the results as they happen.
