6.5 miles in 48:54, 7:31/mi, HR 146. Restless night sleep, marred by several trips to the bathroom. Whatever I ate or did that didn't agree with me last night had me up at all hours and feeling pretty dehydrated by the AM. Yesterday's 2 hr nap made it tough to fall asleep....plus, watching the Olympic Men's Marathon had me all pumped up. Once I got out running today, felt much better. Again, made sure I was taking full strides, not half steps, and my pace is still about 30 sec/min faster at roughly the same effort. Got to try out my new lightweight trainers today.....I like them. Warm and humid (67F) in advance of the rain coming later today, so off to mow the grass quickly. NB 903 - 6.5 miles.
