With the temperature headed for the mid 90s again today, I didn't have much trouble getting up early to take advantage of the more moderate weather. It was 75 and breezy.
I didn't run on Monday, so my legs felt rested. I started out with a 10 min. mile, and then steadily increased the pace for a final 7.12 miles. Total time was 1:04:24, which is a 9:03 pace. So, what started as an easy run ended up as a tempo run. 9:03 is roughly the pace I'd like to maintain for my next marathon.
