6:45AM- Davis Blvd. Overcast, windy, 80% humidity, 66 degrees but the wind made it feel cooler, which was nice. Ran up 400 N to Davis Blvd. First mi up was around 11:00 mins.
Turned around for an impromptu progressive run for 4.66 mi. Took a bathroom break half way at Lewis Park. Splits were 7:38, 6:59, 6:52, 6:27, 6:05 (.66)= 6:52AP. Overall, it felt felt pretty effortless for the pace, even with a decent headwind on the way back. I didn't start to feel it till the last mile, which was downhill.
The time passed quickly chasing a speedy HS boy, who passed me at a blazing speed. I stayed on his tail to keep a steady pace. After a mile, he stopped and gasped for air on the side of the street for about 5 seconds until he turned around and saw I was right there, then he picked it up again for another mile before stopping altogether. I'm happy with the splits becuase it didn't think I was going too fast:) Felt good overall- yet flubbery. 8mi@ 7:32ap.
