I got my 8 miles in today! Though it was supposed to be a “not so easy 8”, I started out slow. The first mile was 17 minutes! I have not used the lap feature on my watch yet, so I’m not sure how fast the last few miles were, but I did 4 in 63 minutes and I tried to go progressively faster.

The weather was perfect. It was sunny, but not hot. There was a pretty consistent breeze, so I never got over-heated. Unlike last week, I was totally aware of the hills. I think it is because I was trying to walk harder.

I feel as if I could do the 10-mile race in Flint next week! My training is going great!
