4 Mile Run

Ran 4 miles in 44:00. I was hoping to run a 10K. I ran at 9:00 in the morning on the track and started off at a slow pace that I hoped to sustain for 6 miles. It started to get really hot (64% humidity)and I did well just to get past 3 miles. My heart rate hit 160 at 4 miles so I shut it down. I then walked a lap, ran a lap for another mile, but my feet felt like the soles might be starting to burn so I just shut it down. I want to avoid overtraining, and I haven't run much in the last week.

I will try to do a long run again either on Sunday or Monday. If I don't hit 6 miles, my half-marathon plans will be pretty much kaput. As it is, the possibility of doing another triathlon also endangers them.
