Being an 'off' week in the training program, this weekends run was not a long one, nor a speed work session. It was simply a 7 mile run. The plan calls for doing a magic mile timing, but it was very hot and humid (even at 6:30pm after the sun was lower on the horizon), so I didn't bother with that. After the past couple weeks (20 miles, followed by a couple tempo runs, followed by 8 mile repeats, followed by a 5k race), I figure that making this coming week an easy one will be a good idea. There are a couple places that are still experiencing some very mild soreness in certain situations (outside of my left knee, and below my right kneecap), so I don't want to further stress them before the 23 miler next weekend.
So today's run was just a steady 7 miles. With the heat and humidity, I went slow to try and keep the HR as close to 150 as I could - but after about 4 miles, it started creeping up into the high 150's.
