Cool damp morning but after a very slow start managed to get in a good run this morning. It's always painful to see a first mile at 8:00. It may have had something to do with eating WAY too much junk food this weekend. I felt very lethargic. Glad Halloween is behind us.

Seven more this evening.

I wish that I could say that my first mile was at 8:00 and that I felt bad about it. Broke my fast with 2 bowls of Jambalaya and 1 bowl of chile with some bread on the side.

Same deal with me, I ate several of Amanda's small candy bars last night and felt it this morning. Thanks for trying to run me over this morning!

Sean - I call the first mile in 8:00 moderately brisk :-) I have days when it is slower than 9:00.

Well...8:00 just feels super slow when the rest of them are 6:45s or so. Good thing it's dark. No one can see me. :-)

For me the faster pace does not feel faster unless I look at the ground. That first 9:00 mile feels pretty hard, like I am actually running at a normal pace, not trying to slow down for anybody.
