First week of July...

I rolled out of bed for 4 miles this morning feeling "groggy".  I didn't sleep well so I choked down a vanilla caffeinated gu with some water & got out the door a 4:55am.  I felt tired, period & I tried to avoid some of the hills. 
My plan is to run an easy 3 miles with Wayne & Kate J. with the Wild Wings group tonight giving me 7 miles for the day. 
Tomorrow morning, I'm going out for an easy 3-3.5 miles. Thursday morning, I'm running the Maryland Farms Firecracker 5k.  I do NOT expect much since I HATE heat & I HATE 5ks.  It's like pulling a bandaid off a hairy scrape on your knee.  OUCH! 
My 5k PR is from last December & it was something like a 23:40.  I will do good to get anywhere near 24 minutes in this heat but it is what it is.....I'm considering it "speed work" for the week!

4 miles - 8:25 pace
Mi 1: 9:27 (yawwwnnn...)
Mi 2: 8:04
Mi 3: 7:49
Mi 4: 8:19
