Easy Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 38:12
Pace: 9:32 min/mi

Comments: First mile was overslow. Feeling a little creaky from yesterday's run and the humidity made it feel chillier than it actually was. I warmed up pretty well by the end of the first mile and then actually felt pretty smooth after the halfway mark.

The last two miles went very well and I felt the pace was about perfect for this run (but I could have pushed it harder if necessary). That showed up in the splits as last three miles came in within three seconds of each other.

Conditions:

Easy Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 38:15
Pace: 9:33 min/mi

Comments: As few intentions as I had to run when I awoke this morning, I finally decided to do it. I didn't feel particularly great -- both down both physically and a bit mentally -- but that sort of matched the fog and the cool temperatures that had settled over the area.

The run was no great shakes. With visibility down to maybe 20 feet, I kept a slow pace and stopped a lot whenever there were any cars nearby; I just assumed they couldn't see me and didn't particularly care. I also kept an eye on the ground to make sure I didn't take a misstep in the haze. Finishing the effort I have to say I was glad I did it.
