Decent run around the neighborhood again with slowest mile at 7:38 and fastest at 7:10 - more related to uphill vs downhill than any real change in effort.  Another really nice morning, but humidity creeping back up a bit.  Leaving for 11 day vacation on Thurs after work, but will try to get in 3 more good runs before then - never know what the vacation will bring as far as opportunities to work out.

Out and back in the neighborhood. First (8:54) and third (8:45) miles easy, with second (6:43) and fourth (6:39) miles at goal between 6:30 and 6:45.  I think I need to replot my mile marks here (or get one of them thar fancy GPS watches) - the 6:43 felt much faster than the 6:39.

First 5 miles easy (all between 7:38 and 7:48), almost effortless - not a term I've used in a loooooong time related to running 5 miles.  Had to drop the hammer a bit at 5 miles to maintain the 7:45ish pace, because from 5.25 to 5.75 is a long gradual incline  - that mile ended up being my fastest at 7:27.  Surely the effortless perception is based somewhat on improved fitness, but mostly it was distraction from knowing I leave this evening for the wife's and my 11 day adventure to Mount Dora, Dunedin, Oahu and Maui.  Much cross training in store (cycling in Mt Dora, hiking in Hawaii), and hopefully a few runs in amazing places.  High speed Internet and a laptop everywhere we go, so I'll be checking in... on occasion.

 Aloha

48 miles on the road bike in and around the hills of Mount Dora.  Successfully surprised the fool out of a buddy I haven't seen in 5-6 years. His wife surprised him for his 50th birthday by having me show up out in the middle of nowhere (quite literally) and riding up on him - was perfect, although he did nearly fall off his bike when he realized who just rode up and said "On your left, Old Man" - sweeeeet!  Another ride with him tomorrow and then off to Tampa for a day before Hawaiiiiiiiiiii

Rode around Mt Dora again today with Scott (27 hilly miles) - very fun.  Traveling to Dunedin tomorrow and off to Hawaii early Monday.  Hopefully will get in a run tomorrow evening.
