Noon - 4.0 miles @ 6:24 pace - 25:37.05

I did a 0.75 mile warm-up followed by a mile pick-up in 5:28 (83.5, 80.33, 81.5, 83.37) followed by 0.5 miles easy, followed by 0.25 @ 85.87, 0.25 easy, 0.25 @ 85.52, 0.75 easy, and 0.25 @ 82.23.

I believe that 5:28 mile is the fastest mile that I have ran in years.

One more day of absolutely beautiful weather.

10:55 pm - 7.25 miles @ 7:04 pace - 51:15.63

Everything felt absolutely great on this run and now it is time to get ready for the cold.

Noon - 4.0 miles @ 7:24 pace - 29:37.77 - I was tired and there was a strong wind coming out of the south.  The storm will be coming soon.

5:40 pm - 7.25 miles @ 7:15 pace - 52:37.55 - Feeling  better than my Noon run.  The south wind turned in a north wind on my last 2 miles (I had to put my gloves back on).

9:41 am - 7.25 miles @ 7:45 pace - 56:14.38 - My body just wasn't having it this run.  The temps weren't terrible but I was definately beat.

11:20 pm - 7.25 miles @ 7:28 pace - 54:10.80 - If your firt run doesn't succeed try, try again.  I picked up some Hot Hands today and I must say I love them.  I also some new wool running socks on clearance to put me up for the winter.
