Back on foot

After four days off from running I finally got back out tonight. I could still feel the residual effects of the weekend bike rides, but once I got going it didn't seem to be a factor. I guess the muscles used are different enough. I even thought I felt a little stronger on the hills after all those Hilly Hundred climbs, but maybe it was just all the days off.
Tonight's run was 7.2 miles. I started off thinking tempo run, and that's the way it developed. After opening with 9:33 and 9:22, I went 9:07, 9:03, 8:35, 8:42 and 8:30, plus the partial mile at an 8:41 pace. The average was 8:59.
