We are short staffed at work this week, so I wasn't able to leave the office on time and then I still had to drop off the mail. I decided just to go home and do the workout around my hood. As I was stuck in traffic I thought it seemed extra hot outside, so I pulled out my trusty iphone and looked up the temp and it was 102 DEGREES!! You have got to be kidding. As soon I got home I quickly changed and headed out the door without allowing myself to talk myself out of the workout. How in the heck am I supposed to run hills in this weather? Since I wasn't looking forward to this workout I decided to lengthen the hill workout to 2.1 miles repeats as opposed to Coach Killer's .82. I figured mentally this would be better for me. And I was right. I don't care what pace I was going, it was all about survival for me. I still haven't gotten used to the heat yet. I am a morning girl, I really don't like afternoon workouts.
