One Hour Run - 7.76 miles

Garmin Connect
7.76 miles
7:44 pace

Had to leave work on time yesterday, so decided to limit myself to one hour. The relatively fast run on Tuesday must have reset my internal speed regulator, because the first mile, usually my warmup mile, was 7:40. (I was aiming for an 8:00 pace overall. Slowed down for the second mile, but all the rest were under 8:00. Fastest were miles 6 and 7, both at 7:34. Last 3/4 mile was at a 7:02 pace as I raced to cover all the ground I could in one hour.

Couldn't wait for Chris as he was stuck in a meeting. Dan, the new guy in the office, waited around to run with Chris, since he wanted to do a shorter distance. Dan used to run track at Drexel, and has been running only occasionally, but looks like he is fast. He ran the Broad Street 10-miler last year with the same time as both Chris and me (1:12), but with only 3 weeks training as opposed to my 3 years.
