We finally got some rain last night and I didn't know what to expect when I left the house this morning and so I overdressed. With long sleeves and gloves, I was already hot within the first mile. It turned out to be 54 degrees without a drop of rain. I switched routes this morning with a very steep, half mile ascent in mile two and then down, down, down, ending with a normal uphill return back home. With that kind of a route, I guess I have to expect losses: 5.06 miles in 48:07, or 9:31 per mile average. The splits were: 10:44, 11:00, 8:00, 8:50, 9:04, and 7:54 for the last fraction. I'm thinking I need to do more hills to improve my fitness.
