Pace: 9:58 min/mi
Comments: I actually planned on doing this run tomorrow morning. But with a few hours left in the afternoon I couldn't think of any reason not to just get it done. The temperatures were cool, my legs were as rested as they would be and I wouldn't have to battle freezing temperatures.
This is the first time I did the double circuit of the golf course loop despite that being the best intention quite a few times. Doubling up on the hills sucked but, overall, it went pretty well. My pace turned out fine but my heart rate was higher than I'm really happy with. Hopefully that just ongoing recovery from the races.
