Run 929: Early to run

I got off to an even earlier start today, with the run beginning at exactly 9:30 a.m. It was cloudy, which was nice for the run, and stayed relatively humid.

I didn’t see many people until post-run, likely due to the early start, which was also nice.

My start was fine, at 5:49/km, but I was mildly alarmed when I slipped to 6:00/km for the second km, and made an effort to go a bit faster after, finishing with an average of 5:52/km, a few seconds slower than Monday, but also with a lower BPM. Overall, no issues and the run went well.

I am contemplating a 7.5 km run soon™, but want to get my average pace down a bit more, since this will add roughly 15 minutes to my current run time. Still, I suppose it’s a good sign that I’m even thinking of this.

Onto Friday next.
