Started a little earlier in the evening, and I could feel it.  My lungs were burning after 3 miles from the TX heat.  Then the sun went down and it was better.  First 2 miles were 10 minutes each, the rest were 11-12.  Having trouble staying at 10 consistently.

First mile was 9:27 (I think my first sub-10 min mile), 2nd was 11:02.  Should've taken a break after last night, I think.

I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill, to have a consistent pace.  I ran all 4 miles at a 9:31 pace.  In between each mile, I slowed down to walking pace for .10mile.  Next time, I will try to make it 1.5 miles at that pace before recovering.  I find this is the only way I can build up to longer distances without a break.  Any suggestions?
