The effort that went into your 7:39 mile in those conditions will definitely help your fitness- that's the way I look at it. And great long run in spite of it! Yes, it'll be easier once you're acclimated. Great week of workouts- glad your sinuses are starting to feel better.

Thanks much for your thoughts on the 1-miler ;-) I kind of was thinking similar things (after the fact LOL), but I totally set myself up for a struggle having run the first two week's runs so fast. The weather is always a factor, and not being able to breathe properly just added to the challenge. I'm glad these trials aren't supposed to be easy, but I'm also glad I only have one 1-miler left ;-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-37558768680916616902021-05-23T12:55:19.725-05:002021-05-23T12:55:19.725-05:00Aw, Max is such a cutie!
