Really humid.
Specifically for distance, 5k-10k type training. I started my summer training a couple weeks ago. Slowly building up to 80 mpw, currently at about 50ish.
Is this a good way to work into doing tempo workouts?
I would not consider that a workout.
You basically just did cruise intervals. While the volume and pace were both probably on the lighter side, there's nothing wrong with that if you're just getting into a training cycle. Maybe add a rep or two and/or cut down the pace as time goes on. It would also be a good idea to add in a 3-8 mile continuous tempo every other week as time goes on. Ideally you'd do the cruise intervals one week and the straight tempo the next.

Also forgot to mention there was a 2 mile cool down too, but that's not important. I'm just worried about doing too much to early and don't want to burn out.
as long as you don't hammer your summer workouts you should be fine. Just run them by feel, take plenty of rest between intervals and keep yourself in check.
fast running in the summer is good. Hard running not so much.
It's championship season right now. No, you should be sharpening or in a rest phase.
