Comments: This is the last day before a rather nasty cold front pushes through North Texas. So I took advantage of the ideal conditions this morning to get a 10K in. The run went really well and I was very encouraged by the effort.
I didn't look at my watch the whole way and the pace came out slightly slower than I might have hoped. Basically, this run was about cadence and consistency. For the most part, I think I did that.
I also did myself a favor and doubled back on the flat portion, not the hills. As a result, I had more in the tank than usual on the last few uphills. Again, instead of cranking it, I just tried to keep a solid consistent effort and (mostly) succeeded.
I might be able to squeeze in a run tomorrow morning that won't be awful but, after that, it's sub-freezing training.
