Got up early to beat the heat and ran solo this week. Left about 5:15 am in the dark but it was cool so definitely worth it. Left foot got a blister about 8 miles in but I was in pretty good condition besides that. Finished my 90 minute run and got my to my 10 mile goal (I was a little short last week). Averaged 9:02/ mile. Splits were: 9:12, 9:39, 9:19, 9:09, 9:20, 9:16, 8:56, 8:36, 7:49, 9:00. Really tried to increase my speed the last 4 miles and pushed it the final 3. Suprised a little by the mile 9 split but it was mostly downhill and flat but I will take it. Felt pretty good afterwards. I was still pretty far away from home so I stopped my Garmin and reset it for the last .61 in about 6 minutes.
