Moonlit miles -- Fri. Feb. 18

Busy grading in a.m. so didn't get a run in, but after work, head out under a fine fullish moon on a still mild evening (supposed to get much colder -- I was lucky). With a race tomorrow didn't want to get tired, so go gently; aiming for 8 out of the remaining 20 for the week. Decide on a Rural fig. 8, starting down GeoHannum, then Rural and back to Eskett, to 202, and back up Boardman to GeoHannum and home -- stretch it a bit by going the long way round the development, thus:

Time: 1:05:17
Distance: 8.06 miles
Pace: 8:06s

Comment: started nice and slow, then kept it at just above 8:00s the rest of the way. Got nicely warm, although wet feet stayed cold. First really easy run for a while, and felt okay once I forced myself to stay slow.

Distance and pace a MATCH! Wonder how many times that can happen?
