Easy Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 37:11
Pace: 9:17 min/mi

Comments: The goal was get the four miles. I deliberately started out a bit slow so I wouldn't empty the tank before the halfway mark like yesterday. It seems to have worked. I had a respectable pace most of the way and fatigue never threatened to take over the run.

Obviously I'm just at the start of getting my conditioning back but this was a pretty solid effort. I held a reasonably constant pace and felt pretty good most of the way. I snuck out a bit earlier to beat the rains forecast for today. Got a bit wet at the halfway mark but not enough to really complain about.

Hour: 5:45 a.m.
Surface: concrete
Weather: light rain
Temperature: 65 degrees
Humidity: 95%
Wind: calm

Easy Run

Distance: 2 miles
Time: 17:59 minutes
Pace: 8:58 min/mi

Comments: After a two-month hiatus I finally put the running shoes back on again. This was probably a bit faster than I needed to attempt at this point but the cooler weather made it feel easy. I've fallen for that one too many times before and decided to wrap it up at the two mile mark. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

I'm gonna use this week to ramp things back up and, hopefully, stick with it through the cooler months.

Conditions:
Hour: 6 a.m.
Surface: concrete
Weather: overcast
Temperature: 55 degrees
Humidity: 80%
