Notes
Overruling the watch today, not sure what was up with it. Took it on the trail so had the GPS off, and ALAS, the streak of impressing me ended. I say that because yesterday, running the trail in ~7:00-7:05 corresponded to a pace of ~7:15-7:20, which seemed on point with my assumptions pre-watch. Today, I was running the trail in 6:25-6:35 and the watch was telling me 7:10-7:20. Now, there's the possibility that today was right and I was just going much slower yesterday, but I really doubt it. To try to confirm, I only did ~7 on the trail and ran the last 3.5 on the roads with the GPS on, and, without a noticeable change in effort, it told me 6:40 pace. Since I don't think the change in terrain was worth 35sec, I'm okay with putting an overall pace of 6:50 today.
Legs felt pretty good, lower calves a little tight to start but after not too long I was rolling along just fine. HOT muggy one today, though, but by the time I ran it was tolerable and I got some good breeze off the river.
