What a difference it makes from sunshine to cool evening temperatures. I ran more than I did last Friday at a better pace with notably less effort, despite being a mostly lazy pile of crap over the weekend. I managed to run the whole 3 miles (it's 3 miles dammit, the GPS didn't kick in right away) without stopping and without dropping my pace off too hard. I clocked out mentally a few times and had to re-focus on my running form and footfalls to keep my energy conservation reasonable.
The fields by the school were flooded with kids playing soccer and moms watching them play, so I didn't get to run in the grass as much as I prefer to. I was noticing that I had to work harder on the uphill sections moreso tonight than I have in the past, probably due to me apparently becoming okay with running on flat surfaces to the point where uphill seems like more effort than just a variation on dying by inches. My shoes have broken in well and I experienced no discomfort from them tonight.
Weekend catch-up report: a bit of running around on Saturday for a scavenger hunt and a mile walk to the farmer's market on Sunday. This was easily offset by the huge meal we had Sunday night to send a couple of Katie's friends off on an adventure, so no real progress from the weekend.
