Progression Run - 8 miles w/ last 20 min. moderate (uphill, if possible) 6:30 am, 54° , 75% humidity, wind 4 NNW, overcast.
It felt colder than usual in my room with the windows open this morning, so I thought that maybe it would be cooler outside today. But it wasn't particularly cool and it was kind of muggy. When I got up I seriously considered bagging the run and just going to work because I have a lot of work to do right now. But I finally talked myself into running. Still, I didn't have much speed in my legs this morning. I didn't manage to get anything into the fast miles bucket. The plan says to do the last 20 minutes uphill, if possible. The penultimate mile was largely downhill, but the last mile had a lot of uphill. That's why the last mile was slightly slower than the one before it. All the road kill was gone this morning, but the day laborers were at the garden center again. So there were no new interesting sites. I'm just glad to be done and have these miles in the bank. AP: 9:31. Splits: 10:05, 9:58, 9:47, 9:38, 9:36, 9:38, 8:41, 8:43.
