Nighttime 10 -- Thu May 14

Aimed to be home in good time for a run with some daylight, but it was after 10 when I headed out (getting home late after a long day with students and paperworks). A nice soft, post rain evening, cool enough that I wore a hat, but not cold. Down GeoHannum and Boardman straight to 202, straight across and along Chicopee (past Baggs Hill) to the junction w/ School; then go right and head back, along School still, then at GeoHannum go right and straight home -- except that with a tiny bit to go to reach 10 I added a mini loop up to StoneSoup farm. Goal was a negative split, with a push in miles 6, 7, 8, and pretty much I managed that:

Time: 1:15:51
Distance: 10.07
Pace/Speed: 7:32s/ 7.97 mph

Comment: First five miles were done in 38:38, so a negative split. Very tired afterwards, given the sort of week I've had and the hour -- but running muscles okay. Still, achilles tendon soreness getting noticeable. Hope it won't get too much worse. Wore older shoes as I thought it might rain (though enfin it didn't).
