8 Mile Morning Run

8 miles up at the lake, starting at the restaurant and doing a big loop, plus running to the pool at the south end, and running up to the circle and back at the end to get in the distance. Started off a bit slow, but then hit my stride, though legs were just a bit tired. 1:20:11 total time, 10:01 pace, splits of 10:54, 9:43, 9:52, 10:03, 10:01, 10:14, 9:54 and 9:29. Took a 1 minute walk break all miles excpet for first and last. Average heart rate of 159, with the final mile average being 166, so not pushing it too much even then. Was about 70F out, sunny, a light breeze, felt pretty good. A few days off though I might walk Friday and/or Sunday. We'll see.
