8pm and 83 degrees. Ran around the block (.3) miles with my middle son Ivan (5 years) in 5:45. We ran the long sections and walked the short. Then did an easy 8.2 (4.1 out and back to MQP) that was anything but easy. Note to self, wait more than 30 minutes after eating steak to do your run. Out in 32:08 (7:50s) and back in 31:59 (7:48s). The good news about this run was the consistancy. On the way back there were a couple times that I checked myself and intentionally slowed down because the pace felt like it was possibly increasing. This wasn't really based so much on how I felt (because I wasn't feeling good the whole way) as much as how my sense of my external environment was moving by. I just had a sense that despite the fact that I felt no differently, I was still increasing pace. So I was pleased with that. Its something I've been trying to work on, especially on slower runs.
