Notes
The sun came out and I've gotten my running mojo back. Sleep and tons of tea have fought back the little bug I had.
Just planned to run easy, hoping for 10 but then my warm up mile was 7:34, slightly up hill. Then I just kept dropping the pace and it felt easy.
At about mile 8.5 some dude pulled up along side me on the other side of the street glancing at me. I didn't know him but he seemed intent on passing me. I kept edging the pace down to see if he really wanted to pass me and he kept going a step ahead. So, with a mile to go I just dropped it down to about 6 pace and held it all the way home. Glancing back I think he tried to keep up then gave up. Kinda dumb but it felt good to blow the rust out. Legs feel great afterwards.
