5 hot miles

It was a good sign that I could run a long-ish run -- 5 miles, 45:58 (9:11.5 pace) in very warm, humid conditions. This being the day after I ran the 5K in Muscatine.

My route was south on the Oakland Mills road to the 2.5-mile mark and back. Demanding route, some pretty tough hills. I ran 22:53 going and 23:05 coming back. I was spent by the time I got back to the town square.

I just need to expand my aerobic capacity, and this is a run that will help. I have developed a pretty good blister on my left foot from sweat-soaked socks, so that is a bit troublesome.

Week's mileage -- 14.7. Miles on shoes -- 114
