6:15AM start, 54F, 90% humidity. It was all dark when I started. I took a small flash light with me. I did the 3.75 mile portion of the American Tobbaco trail back and forth twice. I never ran that far or that long. I did really great. I was tired toward the end but not ruined. My average pace was 7:51. I can't belive it!

I would say these are pretty regular splits (apart from the first mile). I'm so tired now. My legs are fine because I did an ice bath.

6PM, 70F, 55% humidity. Did the usual run between the two campuses. I was planning on doing an easy run after my 15 miles yesterday and I was actually feeling OK during the run but it turned out to be a fast one nevertheless (7:47 pace). I'm traveling tomorrow and I am not sure I'll have time to run.

5:30PM, 72F, 75% humidity. Nice run between the campuses and on the trail. I was fast but I didn't feel I'm pushing it too hard. Average pace 7:39. soon I will start to think I run better in the evening than in the morning.
