Easy Eight Super-Sized + Level 2 Shred. 5:31 am, 34° F, 48% humidity, winds calm. This was the third day in the row of exactly the same temperature and similar humidity during my run. The only difference was I didn't have the wind today that I had the last two days. I did the Broadway loop, which takes me almost to my office, but I did it in the opposite direction that I normally do. So instead of starting with rolling hills with mostly downhill and finishing with a long, gradual uphill, I started (after the first mile or so) with a long, gradual downhill, and finished with rolling hills with mostly uphill. I think I like it better this way. While the rolling hills that go mostly uphill are steeper and probably have more total uphill than the long gradual uphill, I prefer the rolling hills because I at least get a little relief periodically. I have trouble getting myself up and out the door as early as I ought to on days that I don't have to drive to seminary. So I'm a little behind schedule now because of my late start. But I have a little cushion because I'm working from home so that I can go to a little Thanksgiving lunch with my daughter at the elementary school. AP: 9:29. Splits: 10:14, 9:48, 9:35, 9:25, 9:32, 9:33, 9:09, 8:58, and 0.64 miles @ 8:58 pace.
