It's the start of my last build cycle prior to Boulder. The first workout of the week was a 8 mile tempo run instead of the normal speed work at the track. 2 mile warm up, 5 miles at 8:50-9:00 pace and 1 cool down mile. When I started, fatigue seemed to be a problem and I really didn't think I would be able to sustain the pace for the 5 mile set. Most of those miles would be run in the hills of south Coppell. Nothing crazy but tough enough to make the pace less attainable. Once I ran the first sub 9 minute mile, I got in a groove and it became easier. I was feeling good by the time I finished. The damn humidity is ridiculous and we had more rain today. I was soaking wet again after the run. Boulder is supposed to be dry from a humidity stand point. Maybe the work in the humidity will help off set the altitude.
