It was a wet one. It started sprinkling just as I went out the door and it was a light but steady rain by the time I finished. The first 30' was tough to get into a groove. My PE was really high vs. HR, but then at about the hour mark I really started to feel good and held a nice pace and HR through the end.
Man, the heat and humidity sure suck the life out of me running. I really had to hold back and walk a couple times to keep my HR down. Time includes kicking several busted beer bottles off the shoulder from the Friday night redneck festivities. Lots of baby squirrels out and about this morning and a red winged blackbird was harrassing me to death so I went over to the tree he was protecting and there was a baby perched in the tree. I don't think he had fledged yet and he was quite cute.

Good swim. Managed negative splits on all 100s but one with the last one sub 1:30.
Warm and win-deeee. It felt like a 90 degree day in March. Overall, the wind didn't hurt my pace much which is an improvement for me, but the stretch from Bridgeville to Queen Anne was rough. Numb feet and hardly cracked 16mph. I'm glad to get a warm ride in and I felt strong throughout. Even saw Z5 on the road toward the end which was cool.

Quick easy run in Annapolis before work. Ran down around Eastport, through the future Annapolis TA and back up main street. Very nice morning for a run...wish it had been a longer one.
