I ran out to GU corner and then back to the house, the pace was upbeat and then I jjust tried to keep it going. The splits went like this; 8:11, 8:04, 8:04, 7:44, 7:34, 7:54, 8:03, 8:04, average pace was 7:57 and total time was 1:04:35. I felt a little clunky for most of the run but on the middle miles I was feeling a little better, the last couple of miles I was fighting a head wind so they were slower than I wanted,  I was thinking to much about the wind and not my form and the pace. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes at a moderate pace and then some work on the rubber ball for my core and then some push-ups. I hope to get in a run in the morning tomorrow or at least that's my goal, I've been a bit lazy as of late but I'm trying to work on it!

See ya tomorrow.
