full Enfield -- Thu. October 4

Of a mild evening, late but just a good time for me somehow. Dithering between wanting to do at least a 10, if not a 12, to remind myself how it feels, I then got nervous as it's only three days till Boston -- opted for 7-8 with a long Enfield. So, Hamilton, Bay and Allen, then left on Enfield to the Quabbin gate (too dark to go down to the water) and back down to 9, then loop around the dealer there and up on Jabish to the common, then towards home, making sure I clocked a good 8 miles. Here it is:

Time: 58:30
Distance: 8.19 miles
Speed: 8.4 mph

Comment: I was pushing for high average pace, but not racing. It was warm and muggy, which made the whole run quite comfortable despite the late hour on an October evening. Pace varied from 6:30~7:55. Good ironing out run, though left me nervous re the last bit of the 13.1 miles to come. . .
