57:30 ==> 7:27 per mile. I ran this afternoon a couple of hours after lunch -- I had minor cramps at the start of the run. My pace picked up in the last half. I ran south and west of campus.

I'm kind of in a running rut: I don't have a great desire to do speed workouts. I've trained myself mentally just to go out for a nice run. I don't think it's necessarily bad, but some day I guess I'll have to work on my speed again. My miles are staying pretty good, and I think I've generally been going a little faster on my fairly relaxing runs (like today -- not slow, but not pushing myself to go fast either).

Sometimes I go through cycles where one week I'm running great and then the next, I'm just going through the motions. Feeling good everyday would be wonderful but is probably not very realistic. It's just like work, I guess. Sometimes work is fun and interesting and the days pass very quickly and other days...URGH! Part of life, I suppose.
