Absolutely perfect running weather (55 degrees). It's going to snow tomorrow so I had to enjoy the weather while I could. Ran the Orchard Drive loop which is slightly uphill for the first few miles. My form still feels a little sloppy. My shoulders were tight and I didn't feel as though I had a very clean push off. Tried to maintain a decent effort through the first few uphill miles. Started to loosen up and pushed the pace a little on the downhill return. Last 3 miles were 6:50, 6:49 and 6:34. I wasn't monitoring my pace during the run and I was surprised that these splits were as fast (relative, I know) as they were.
Total Time: 1:13:09 (7:19/mile)
