8 Mile Run

Another nice cool morning, 69F when we left the house. Ran up at the lake, starting at the restaurant, going up to the Sailboat cove on the inside loop, then down through the woods and out to the pool, then back through the woods, then back along the middle connector. 8 miles in 1:23:42, avg pace of 10:27, splits of 10:53, 10:39, 10:36, 10:36, 10:32, 10:19, 10:24 and 9:39. Average heart rate was 155, with all miles at or below 157 except the last one where I ran a bit faster and it was 161, still pretty low. Felt good out, had a bit of spring in my step. Wish every morning could feel like that. Took walk breaks at the end of every mile except for the final mile, and walked about a half mile at the start and end.
