MHM -87/late ten -- Thu. July 15

Exam (by Skype) in morning, so an evening outing, starting a bit late (very tired from the long day before w/ the drive and all). Muggy if not exactly hot-hot; head out for a simple Baggs lane run w/ variation, thus: GeoHannum (stretch briefly, but too buggy to stay) - Boardman - Eskett - 202 - Chicopee - School - back across 202 (choking/retching on inhaled bugs as I go) to GeoHannum - Rural - Boardman and up to home. Start easy (7:40s) and only after 5 miles loosen up a bit and move for 7:30 average; after getting that for the first hour, nudge pace up despite the uphills and end up thus, stopping clock at AustinG:

Time: 1:15:52
Distance: 10.31 miles
Pace: 7:22s

Comment: satisfying, after a slow start, to get this pace without any real tempo attempt. One of the remaining two runs of the week will have tempo or track in it.
