MDay -37 -- Fri. August 14

Dreamt last night that I missed the marathon; just wasn't ready, and couldn't get there. Ouf. Well, mileage was job one today, so once I woke up properly (night disturbed by sick dog; cleaning up and walking her between 5 and 6 a.m. was not helpful, so I crashed again until nearly 9. Out by 11 for an Enfield: very hot day after a cool night, so shade was important. Started on Hamilton, then over Allen (gently), aiming to do 5 miles warmup before looking for a pace; left on Enfield down to the water and round that trail before returning; notice slightly better distance at the 1 hour mark than on the Wed. run. Up Jabish partway, left onto Johnson and then back up Jensen; run round the baseball fields too, then up to common and all the way down 202 and home the usual way, running until 10 miles comes up, then stopping in shade at bottom of Greenwich. Walk and jog through the development home after that.

Time: 1:19:01 (sic! what are the odds of that, two runs in a row?)
Distance: 10. 11 miles
Pace: 7:49s

Comment: didn't feel so good at first, but again, at 5 miles it picked up a bit; also, this run consdierably more hilly than Wednesday's. Coming down 202 I was in the flow, and mile 10 was comfortably sub-7, though that was the only one.
