starlit almost eight -- Wed. June 6

Evening run after heading from work to Nina's jazz ensemble performance, then ordering pizza for all in advance and finally out at about 9:30 on a beautifully cool night -- cold even, if not running. Wore training pants and long sleeve fleece top (in June!), and headed off down GeoHannum aiming for 8 miles. Nice loop run, road only as it was so dark -- GeoHannum all the way to Sabin, then left out to 202, up to Boardman and back to complete the loop. Watching the miles it was clear it wouldn't quite make 8, so I headed right past the small farm inst. up to the rail trail entry, then stopped the clock -- too dark to do the little bit of trail which would have made 8 miles. Final score:

Time: 59:03
Speed: 8.0 mph
Distance: 7.92 miles

Comments: good starting miles, then slower especially last couple, but felt very good at times. Tired at end, but I think it's getting better.
