Fitness Run

Distance: 4.24 miles
Time: 41:09 
Pace: 9:41 min/mi

Comments: First run with the new GPS device. This morning was a mess so I got out much later in the morning than would be ideal in the middle of summer. The temperatures were hot, but not as hot as it got later in the day. The humidity as pretty low so that helped quite a bit.

Just tried to keep it slow and steady and not overheat too badly. For the most part, I accomplished that. But since I couldn't sort out the GPS function, the run got truncated and my times skewed. I probably ran this faster than I should have but not a full minute per mile faster.

Still. A nice effort after an irregular few weeks of runs.

Distance: 4.2 miles
Time: 43:00 (approx)
Pace: 10:14 min/mi

Comments: I almost certainly ran this one significantly slower but GPS went haywire on me. It claimed I did almost five miles and my fastest split was 5:26 min/mi pace. Not likely.

Basically this was a normal weekday run. My legs were a little bit weary at the start but warmed up pretty good. Got out earlier so it was mostly other runners and a minimum of amateur hour stupidity.

It's humid again. I missed the (relatively) cool window of weather. Just gotta  get up earlier.

Distance: 4.17 miles

Time: 42:40
Pace: 10:14 min/mi

Comments: Ran this one with an exaggerated cadence to account for my recent injury issue (see below). So, effort-wise, this was not as exhaustive as one might expect for the relatively robust overall pace. My first two miles were probably a little overfast but my whole focus was not screwing up the big hills on the final mile.

In the wake of the the unexpected three-day rest, my legs felt pretty strong. It also helped that the temperature and humidity are relatively nice for this time of year. On the downside, there was a surfeit of Karens out on the course this morning.
