7.8 miles

first song on the shuffle: "i'm still here" - vertical horizon (or vsp...whatever you like)

ran home from work today. totally thought i had the right route mapped out, but clearly i was just short.

once i got on the lake shore path, i kept track of my 1/2 mile splits (thanks to the markers) just to see how i was doing. for the first few miles, i was right around 11:30-12 minute pace. then, i just kept knocking a few seconds here and there off of each half mile. suddenly, i was pulling out anywhere between 10:30-10:45 pace. must have been the rain...felt incredible.

so for 7.8 miles, i went 1:24:14, which is 10:46 pace. not too shabby.

tomorrow: 4 miles and a pizza party
