     Got out late again tonight about 1/2 hour after sundown for 8.5 miles. Another perfect evening with temps in the mid 50s, calm, and peaceful. I didn't plan on pushing the pace at all again just keeping it comfortable. It was completely dark after 4 miles so I never really looked at my garmin. Just ran what felt good. My first couple of miles were in the 8:20s but after that my pace was from 15 to 20 seconds faster with each mile. miles 6,7,and 8 were 7:24, 6:58, 6:42. I was wearing my New Balance 101s. A very minimal trail shoe without much heel rise and fairly light. I've been running in these once a week and always seem to run a little faster in them. Last 1/2 mile was on a dirt road with a few potholes so I ran it slow since it was dark. 8 miles @ 7:44/mile
