Ran a couple of warm up miles and settled into about a 7:55 pace. Miles 7-9 I slowed down to between 8:05 & 8:15 and then ran the last mile at 7:42. My legs felt fairly well recovered from yesterday's hard run. I'll probably do 4-6 miles easy tomorrow morning in preparation for a 16-20 on Saturday.

I saw a man walking a dog today who's dog was actually smaller than the armadillo that was walking about ten yards in front of them. At first glance I though he had teh armadillo on a leash as well... Who knows? I've seen stranger things at 5:30 am.

Great run and strong finish...I just got back from Disney with my family a couple of weeks ago, and I don't envy that 5:30 am, 70 degree weather, but it should continue to cool off a little (even in Florida, right?).

By the way, don't you love the Brooks Adrenaline? Despite repeated attempts to tear myself away from them and work in another shoe, I'm just not having much luck...

Wesley 5:30 & 70 degrees is a blessing these days. During the summer it's 5:30 and 85 degrees and 90% humidity. But you're correct, it should be cooling off even more soon. I'm running a half next Sat. and the Space Coast Marathon last Sun. in November. I'm hoping for low humidiy as much as low temps!
