52 minutes and I was going pretty slow -- probably about 8:00 mile. It felt good though.

55 minutes. I forgot my watch, so I had to ask someone the time at the start and at the finish. I figured out my distance using gmap-pedometer. So needless to say, it's a rough guess - although I think my 7:20 pace is pretty accurate.

I was going to run a fast mile again today -- and I started to run it, but I just didn't have it in me. It was raining pretty hard. I ran a 1.5 mile warm-up and then ran my mile in the opposite direction than I usually run it. I ran 4/5 of a mile in 4:09 and accidently stopped my watch when I was trying to turn on the light to see my pace. Anyway, at that point I decided I'd had enough.

Today's run further convinced me that I need to run my official mile on the track, as I think there is enough of a hill on my neighborhood mile that it could give me an unfairly good time when I run the downhill direction (which is what I did when I ran the 5:00.88 mile last week).

45:21. Nice run. I ran the last mile up a hill and down the other side in 6:45, and I felt pretty good. For the most part, I took it fairly slow. I've enjoyed just going on nice longer runs this week, rather than on pushing speed.

50:40, which means about 7:08 per mile. I felt good about this run -- I could have kept going and it didn't feel like I was pushing it. So that's a good sign. Eventually, I'd like to be able to run 7 minute miles without pushing it for forever (like 26 miles).

I did not really go running today, but played 2.5 hours of ultimate frisbee. That has to count for something -- I am a lot more sore now than I am after my usual 7 mile run. Running is great and all, but there are few things better than ultimate.... Fall league started today, so I will be have to run my long runs sometime during the week.
