Felt really good today considering I still had a full stomach from dinner...at least it felt that way. I tried to keep it slow, around an 8:00 pace, but the second half of the run my stomach felt better and it just ran what was comfortable. I changed up my route to a more circular one, and I liked it a lot better. I think I will stick with this one for a while.

This morning's run felt great. I started off slower and worked my way into a faster run. I seem to naturally do this on almost all my runs. I am not sure if it is a good thing or not since I don't think there is anyway I could hit my first while within 45 seconds of my last...I guess not everyone has fast-twitch muscles. I was very happy with my last mile, especially since route is not so flat, mostly rolling hills.
