ridiculous humidity today. This morning was 79 degrees with a 76 dew point. feels awful. In fact, here are the conditions today at 5:00 pm. That dew point is the worst I've seen all summer. straight up dangerous out there:

AM: 2.2 WU 16x400 @10K pace + 3x200 fast. 2.4 CD

PM: 3.5 miles. very hot. I did not feel that good. ran slow

79 with 76 dew point this morning. terrible weather. Joined Greg for 16 of his 25 x 400m workout. The idea is to run them at 10K pace then do a 100m 30 sec jog in between each rep. It sounds easy enough but it starts to drag half way through. I stopped at 16 as I have a race in a few days. I then did a couple 200s.

The Vazee Pace I have suck as the insert came out of them while running. Come to think of it the insert in the last pair of these I had came out often as well until I glued them in

very humid and still hot. I was doing core at Washington Lee and I looked up to see Matthew Centrowitz jogging by doing a warm-up for a track workout. Very random to see a n Olympic Gold medallist working out at your local track. A lot a famous runners have trotted around that oval. Alan Webb, the guys from the old Reebok Enclave, all the way up to home town ultra guys like Mike Wardian but never the calibre of Centro. Dude was small and looked "normal" running except that he seemed to float at a much quicker pace. Light and smooth strides. Amazing.

Felt sluggish and slow but I was not expecting to be too fast going in. I though I would have at least broken 16:00 but I guess not. The weather was humid and gross. Never felt quite there. First mile was fine but it felt harder than it should have 1.5 in when I fell off Nico and while he maintained the pace, I slowed. I did not take splits but the after-the-fact Strava splits tell the tale:

4:57, 5:05, 5:17
