6.1, 2.01 miles (Garmin links here and here)
48:00, 15:41
7:52, 7:49 pace
76 degrees, 45% humidity
Started out hoping to do 9 miles in under an 8:00 minute pace, but could feel that I was more tired than Wednesday, plus feeling the relative warm temp and humidity. The rec path was crowded with people, preparing for a regatta - so had to do a lot of dodging and running off path. Turned around at 4.5 and stopped at 6, when I returned to the Art Museum. Crossed back over the Spring Garden Street Bridge, then resumed running. It was very hard to get the pace back under 8:00 for the first mile of part 2, but then seemed to get a second wind to make up a second mile to finish the run.
This brings me to 28 for the week, plus possibly another 3 tonight with Doug and Barbara. We are running a 5k race on Sunday - first race for all three of us together since the alumni race last fall.

I don't know how you're able to vary your pace as much as you do. It seems like when I was running it was almost always between 6:35 and 6:50, usually about 6:45. Of course, I'm talking about 2-4 miles, not what you're doing. I used to feel I could run all day at a 7:00 pace and now I couldn't even run a mile at that pace.
Dad, my pace doesn't vary that much lately. My best pace for a 10 mile run (7:11) is not much faster than for a 3 mile run (maybe a little under 7:00.) I'm hoping some track work will help make everything a little faster. But I really need to start working on distance too. I've read that as most men get older their speed decreases (of course) but their stamina actually increases a bit.
