I just ran. 6:33 am, 66-70° F, 36% humidity, wind 8 SW, sunny. Yesterday I got up and got my running clothes ready, but then I chickened out and didn't put them on. I did the shred in my pajamas instead. So I figured I better run today. This morning I didn't get up as early as I intended to on account of staying up too late last night, but I did drag myself out. Then I just ran until my watch said 8 miles and I tried to be near home at that point. My pace was dictated by the landscape. But I got a double-whammy this morning. Where I normally run, going south is generally uphill and so going north is generally downhill, and the wind was blowing from the south, so I got uphill into the wind and downhill with the wind at my back. Fortunately, one of the longer uphill stretches was in shade. This might have been the warmest run I've had yet this year. I'm not sure I had hit 70 before today. The last mile of my run was wandering around my neighborhood looking for sprinklers. I did find sprinklers on at a couple of houses, but running through them was not very satisfying because they were little sprinklers and only got my legs wet. AP: 9:34. Splits: 10:19, 9:51, 9:25, 9:06, 9:38, 9:45, 9:17, 9:13.
