Evening 10k -- Tue. February 10

Missed running Monday, but happy with that after the weekend. Felt full of energy most of Tuesday, though it was a bit late by the time I went out, close to 9. Moon rising in clouds, mild evening, though I went out in full cold weather gear. GeoHannum to Boardman to Eskett, then 202 to Boardman and straight back. Very easy on the first three miles, or intended to--in fact two 7:30s then an 8:15, then fairly steadily back. Uphills more on the way back, so making an even split was good.

Time: 49:50
Distance: 6.45 miles (plus 0.75 warmdown)
Pace/Speed: 7:43s/ 7.76 mph

Comment: Distance was exactly what I usually measure for a Snowstorm 10K. Slight hunger attack in mile three, both legs feeling wobbly, but then the sandwich I had just before running must have kicked in. Felt v. good in miles 5 and 6, opened up with a bit of a stretch and pushed the hills a bit too. After the fast finish, went round the development the long way to warmdown.
