Tue 2006 Oct 24, 8 mi, 40 deg

Gateway Trail 8 mi, 1:03:47, pace 7:58. What a wonderful run! Intended to run 8:30 or so, because I'll be with those Woodbury speedsters tomorrow, but just couldn't hold back. Probably a bit faster than 7:58 pace, because the mile markers on the trail have been removed for re-paving and I might have gone a little long before turning around. For sure not short. First mile 7:53, last mile 7:07; that marker was there. Also I walked for several minutes to take an incoming business call, and didn't subtract that time. Anyway it was a beautiful day to run, cool and windless with some clouds and some blue sky, plus the tail end of fall color. Passed by A & S twice on the trail; we parked at opposite ends of the run so each of us would have a water supply at our turnaround. No pains, no strain.  I feel great.
