Pinellas County - Mile time trial: 1.03 miles, 00:06:40 average pace, 00:06:51 duration
after the warm-up the humidity hit me and i realized i was drenched and i could not stop sweating. it was going to be rough, and it was. kept a pretty steady pace which was great… and around 0.70 miles i upchucked in my mouth a bit, which was oh so great, so i eased off the gas towards the end. overall very happy with the effort since normally i do this in the cooler and drier conditions. in addition i have not been doing much speed work so this is great.

76.2F feels like 84.6F with 93% RH and 73.7F dew point

@bmallred@staystrong.run overall this was pretty good and the run-walk intervals kept my heart rate low.

at around 0400 a car came racing (90-100 mph) down gulf blvd towards my direction. it turned its headlights off and actually lost traction at point and skidded a bit. okay, kids. then a bit later i hear the car coming back behind me… so i got as far to the right as i could in case the car skids again. as it passed me i looked over my shoulder and saw a police vehicle a bit back w/o lights on yet. then looking in front another cop and then they blocked the lanes to get the driver to stop. driver decided he wasn’t stopping and tried to swerve around the police and ended up ping-ponging between sides of the road. enough of that…

took a wrong turn after going over the first bridge, but luckily it went in a loop. didn’t really know exactly where i was going anyways and was just winging it from the get-go.

the rest of the run was pretty uneventful and just a fun experience. crazy idea accomplished.

Pinellas County - Long Run: 11.06 miles, 00:10:28 average pace, 01:55:49 duration
although it was tough rolling out of bed it was a good run and i am glad i did. on the last miles i met up with joe and had a nice conversation with him. really made a few miles go by fast although we slowed the pace dramatically. eh, it was all relative.

odd thing is my sunburn from monday did not bother me at all, but when i took my shirt off all the sweat had been captured in little blister looking things on my shoulders and back (where i was wearing a shirt). they don’t hurt or itch but definitely were something new!

VO2 Max: 5.00 miles, 00:08:56 average pace, 00:44:40 duration
was suppose to be a VO2Max workout… 9:50 warm up and cool down for 10 minutes a piece, then 5 times :20 on and 11:30 off, actually didn’t feel too rough but that may have been a different story if i was not on the treadmill.
