5 am, 92 degrees and the humidity was back :(

I ran to the track and met up with Blake.

5 x 1600 m with 800 m recovery jog.

I did my first 4 all sub 6, averaging 5:56 and then my legs tied up on me during the last half of the fifth one and I ran a 6:10.

Then I ran home nice and easy for a total of 12 miles.

Nice speedie training. Are you ready for some high altitude desert marathon running ? Just a few weeks and it's showtime at the Full Monte! Remember to bring your dancing shoes!

You are one fast runner. Nice workout - and when you say humidity -what was it? :p

Dan. You are going to laugh when I tell you biut trust me it doesn't take much to make you miserable when normal is 10 %. It was 35%...Stop laughing.

Slick. There is no way for me to train for high altitude here at 500 ft but I've got the desert thing down. I've read that heat training can help with high altitude. If so, I should be ok.

Hey Rhett! I'm back. Dang, you're getting super fast. Nice job

Yo Rhett, now just where did you read such a thing like heat training helps high altitude running! And be sure that your ready for a cool start...The historical over night low for Sept 15th is 39 degrees. That's really going to be a radical change from 500 ft of elevation and sizzling hot day and night temps.....just don't forget to keep your body hydrated as altitude and heat effect your ability to breath and run!

Rhett- sorry I did not reply sooner, but I just now stopped laughing :p

Our humidity was down to 82% this morning.

Slick. Google up "Training in heat to prepare for altitude " and you will find all kinds of articles on the subject.

Rhett - I'll go check out that heat & altitude site.
