Out 8 miles then back. Similar run to the last couple Saturday's runs but I went up River Road and then down to the DC and to Bloomington. Started out really slow with a 8:38 mile. Up early and working out the Mondays. Slowly tried to get things going but for the first 7 miles I was still barely under 7:20 pace. Then going into the last mile before the turn around I started to feel better and basically ran between 6:35-6:50 pace the remainder of the run. Ended with a 7:01 avg. Felt a little cooler this morning but still was over 76 F at 5 a.m. |
