7:45pm, 82 degrees and considerably humid. Ran down along the River Des Peres (sounds nice, except this is a large drainage system for rainwater that flows into the Mississippi. Given the humidity and the time of evening ... the gnats were terrible. Overall just a generally easy run tonight. I'm trying to taper without tapering for the 10k race on Monday. So I'm trying to keep my mileage fairly consistent but making the runs slower in pace. 4.5 mile out in 35:27 (7:53s) and 4.5 back [more uphill on the way back] in 34:51 (7:47s). Pretty even pace for the whole run, which is good.
