10 Mile Morning Run

10 mile tempo run up at the lake. Was cool out, about 60F with a bit of a breeze and mist/drizzle for the run. Headed out from the house at about 6am while it was still dark, but it got lighter pretty quick into the run. Ran from the restaurant up to the sailboat cove on the inside trail, then around the lake and looped around on the soccor field trail and past the sailboat cove again. With all the recent rain, the lake was really high, and I wasn't sure how the unpaved trail would be, so I decided to double back and return the way I started, going past the sailboat cove again then taking the inside trail back to the restaurant. Pretty good run overall, took water/walk breaks every 2 miles, was able to keep my pace steady and felt pretty good at the end. 1:34:35 total time, 9:27 avg pace, 160 AHR. Splits of 9:43, 9:37, 9:13, 9:42, 9:23, 9:35, 9:25, 9:33, 9:16 and 9:04. Heart rate crept up a bit at the end, but with the cooler temperature not really that much - 164 for the final mile. Running tomorrow and Sunday - going to be dragging by the end of the 18 miler Sunday I think.
