High Mileage

Maybe a high-mileage plan isn't the thing for me. The total this week is supposed to be 46 miles, and today was supposed to include 10 of that. Or maybe it's just the hot weather that is keeping me from it. I went 6.5 miles, almost 5 of that was at "marathon pace." I tried to keep it at about 9 minutes/mile, but it was tough. At one point I was going too fast, and then other times I was going about a half-minute too slow. I ran on Shoal Creek and tried to stay in the shade. I don't know, maybe it's just too much to expect to run 90 minutes or more on a weeknight.
