I ran to school this morning, running 8.6 miles in 1:05:44. It was the coolest weather that I have run in since I was in California a few months ago (approximately 70 degrees). At the beginning of the run I was actually wishing that I had a shirt with sleeves (short or long) rather than the sleeveless jersey that I had on. It rained on me a little while I was running, but it was not bad. PM: I ran home from school in the evening. On my way home I ran 9 x 1 minute hard, 2 minutes easy. After the third and seventh repeats I had a little more than 2 minutes recovery (about 3:45 and 2:30) because of stoplights, and after the first repeat I ran the last 30 seconds of the 2:00 recovery fast because I had to speed up to get through a light before it turned red. My average pace when the fast and slow running was combined was somewhere in the range of 6:20 per mile (maybe a little faster), but I am not sure how fast I was running the hard sections. Total time for 8.6 miles was 59:48.
