49F, SSW 17 mph.  I had the day off, so I took my kindergartner to school and ran from there.  7:36 AP.  Once my legs get warmed up, things are now very comfortable in the 7:30s (when the weather is cool).  Hopefully if my easy pace is speeding up, it means everything else is too.  Not sure if it works like that though.

I think it definitely works that way. Our temperture discrepancy this morning is very interesting, it was 36F here.

That was the temp from 9am, but definitely warmer here this morning. I guess Houston will lose the cold air by tomorrow...sorry!

Nice running weather! I am pretty sure it works out like that too! I am always amazed when I look back and compare times ... I have gotten pretty comfortable at 7:30 pace too & that was my 10k race pace a couple years ago.

How fun that you got to take your kindergartener to school! I bet she loved it! Nice long run and great time! Have a nice weekend FastJoe! :)
