Pace: 7:47/mi
Comments: The day got crazy busy and I kept putting the run off knowing my work would be shot once I went out to do it. Finally, even though I had just eaten, I got out at door at about 5 p.m.
Late afternoon and night running bothers me a bit due to the rush hour traffic and the stupidity of Arizona drivers. I feel safe enough on the sidewalk but those corner mall entrances and exits are a nightmare.
But there was enough light most of the way to compensate.
The run went well. No major issues, felt strong. Don't mess with success.
