45 Second per mile improvement from a month ago, with the same HR effort and same temp/humidity/dew point.

Making improvement but still waiting for a break in the weather!

I'm tired....

Although I haven't run that many miles each day, I've run 26 out of the last 30 days.

Took a day off yesterday and was feeling really good when I started ... but, after the first mile I started to overheat. By the end I'd wished I would have started out slower! Cooler weather is on it's way early this week!!!
