I got out a little early this morning and got in 2.25 easy miles before meeting up with Larry and Wayne. The weather was cooler this morning. It's about time! I especially enjoyed it after yesterday's warm and muggy noon run, although it was still muggy this morning. When we finished there was water literally dripping off the brim of my hat, and it hadn't rained at all.
After I met up with Larry and Wayne we ran the water tank road. After hill three I pushed ahead and pushed the last two hills pretty hard. We took it easy coming down as it was still kind of dark and we couldn't see the rocks on the road very well. When we got to 400 East on 1600 North I decided to try some speed down that perfect downhill half mile to Main, which is just before we turn into our neighborhood and end. I averaged 5:59/mi for that stretch. It always feels good for me to get under a 6:00 pace, even if it is only for a half mile on a perfect downhill. I felt strong and comfortable running this morning.
