8:47

8:24. My goal is to get to 8:00 pace on the hilly course to feel easy. Around 8:40 pace first thing in the morning feels right. My goal is to get as fast as I can without burnout.

8:27. I think if I do a 5 min warmup before I will be a lot faster.

8:10. It helped that I ran this an hour later in the morning.

8:10

Around 16:00. First mile was 8:23 (on the hill course). At 1.5 I was at 12:17, but I think I accidentally paused it for almost a minute. This pace felt like 14:00 for 2 miles. I am still on the fence if I want to train for longer distances one day or if I should choose a completely new sport. If I want to be faster I would have to be thinner. I would rather not do that because I have more of a gymnast body and feel better not having a runner's body. I will put in the work to be a fit runner without overtraining and will see what kind of sport works best.
