Had a busy and long day at work, and was really ready for a run by the time I got to the gym at 7:20 p.m. I felt good enough to push it a little harder than I have before, and I ended up with 6.4 miles in 60 min. for an average pace of 9:23.
I'm starting to think about runs I can sign up for. Probably a 10k next month, and maybe a half marathon in March. At this point I'm thinking of them as runs rather than races.
