First, it looks like my easy pace is becoming faster. This is good, of course, because that means I'll be able to run faster for a longer period of time.
The second thing, which isn't so great, is that after this morning's run and successive daily activities, I'm completely exhausted. It's only 6pm, and I feel like going to bed! I think the key here is that it's essential for me to eat prior to running.
I experienced this same thing after last Sunday's 8-miler, when again I didn't eat before it. I was exhausted then as well, and ended up just lounging around the campsite the rest of the day.
So anyway, the run itself was fabulous. I ran at 6am, and the weather was darn near perfect: 55 degrees with a slight breeze. If all runs were that way, I'd never have a bad one!
