5:15am, 64F.  8:18 pace.  Same course, same time of day, same pace as yesterday but half the effort.  Gotta be the awesome temperature this morning, although I had the shoes I prefer today too.  And there was a nice breeze that made it feel even cooler.  I fought the urge to just rip off an 8-mile tempo, and held back since I'm planning on a 14-miler tomorrow.  Should have nice temps for that too.  It will tie my record for longest run ever, set about 6 months ago.

Hey, even 14.01.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 15:12:38 from 214.13.130.104

Not a bad idea at all...

You are definitely ready for some longer distances, way to hold back, you are obviously more mature than me.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 16:35:16 from 214.13.130.104

Thanks Flat! In all my nearly 32 years, no one has used the words "you" and "mature" in the same sentence. Except to say "You need to be more mature."

I feel the same way about the cooler temps--everything is easier! Good luck on the 14 miler!
