Dam Night Run (Arkadelphia)

July 31, 2010 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 88 w/ a heat index of 105

Comments:
Wasn't planning on running b/c of the heat and need to do 16 mi tomorrow, so I ran in the morning and helped Chelsie's dad lay sod. Turned out Chelsie's bro had already paid his entry fee, tho, so I decided to run. Chels and Bryan Pyle ran also. Opted not to warm up, stretch, do strides, etc. Got caught up at the start and could never catch the group I wanted to run with. Ran by myself most of the way. At mile 2 I had to decide between trying to catch more ppl or settling for breaking 18:00. I settled rationalizing that I had to run long tomorrow and there was nobody close to try to catch even tho I had a little left in the tank. Pretty easy downhill course despite the heat.

splits: 5:35, 5:39, 6:22 (1.1)
