Easy one-hour run. Average pace: 8:56. Shred level 2. 54°F, 57% humidity, wind 2 S. I've still got a cough and some congestion but I decided to run today anyway. It felt good to get out and breath some fresh air and sweat. I hope I sweated all the yuckies out of me. Those shoes really are magic. Or maybe it was the two days off and a week of sleeping in. But I got going faster than I expected today without really trying. Splits were 9:32, 9;23, 8:53, 8:44, 8:43, 8:35, with the last .71 @ 8:34. What really surprised me was that third mile was faster than the second because the third mile is mostly uphill and I often run it slower than the 2nd mile when I do this route. It was also nice to be able to run later in the day and to be able to wear shorts and a short-sleeved shirt for a change. I'll continue playing hooky from the sub-6 club next week because my kids have fall break and I'm taking the week off from work. I was thinking about going to Utah next week, but I don't think I will. I think we'll stay home, save the money, and try to get some things done. So next week I'll sleep in and then get up and run whenever I wake up.
