Felt ok when I left, but my chest felt weird in the first mile.  I may have been a little light on the fluids today since I felt bloated for some reason.  I ran to the track and then did  mile on it as more warmup.  I wanted to do 4 or 5 miles at cruise interval pace with a ogged lap in between.  My first hot lap I felt wonky again and stopped for a minute to collect myself.  After that things were fine.  The last two miles my achilles felt  little weird too.  I'm just falling apart...

1st - 5:58, 2nd 6:00, 3rd 5:58, 4th 5:56

I felt ok overall and I could have pushed more but I defenitely am feeling pretty comfortble at that pace.  I guess I should have one to two more miles, but I didn't want to push that foot too much at that pace.

Mighty quick pace - especially in the heat. Great job.
