Ran 15 min. warmup, then 3.6mi in 30:03 (8:15 pace), and 15 min. cool down. I felt good, but overdid it in the middle of my tempo. I passed a big, overweight guy with jingling keys in his pocket, and then noticed that he was staying right behind me. Apparently he decided to try and keep up with me and make it a workout, but I was annoyed by his loud breathing, spitting and jingling keys, and so I kept increasing the pace, hoping to eventually drop him. He did drop back, but it took him almost 7 minutes. At that time, my average tempo pace was 8:10 - too fast. I slowed down a little after that, for a final average of 8:15. Other than that, it was uneventful run.
Total time: 1:00:24 (8:30 pace)
