Summer running

It's getting tough to get in a workout after work with this heat. I was on vacation last week and I made sure I was out every other day for a run. I ran about 22 miles last week. I'm proud of that, but I would really like to pick up the pace. I got the distance down, I ran 9 miles on Sunday, but I would like to run faster. I'm still only averaging 12-13 minutes a mile. I would like to get under 11 min/mi before my 10k. The race is only a couple weeks away and I don't know how much I'll be able to improve by then. The heat is just a killer. It's going to be in the 90's all week with heat index in the 100's.

Also, I don't have a way to track my pace when running outdoors. I downloaded a couple apps that I thought would help me with audible feedback, but they don't seem to do want I want. I actually posted to the Runner's World Facebook page to see if anyone had any suggestions, but no one has responded yet.

I should be able to get out for a run today so we'll see how that goes.
