to which I replied, "I'm trying."

Sunday, 9/2--

Ran 3 Rustin-plus loops--6.6M.

Technically, the run was (supposed to be) an easy run.

As has been my custom, I ran each loop faster than the one before.

Loop 1 (2.2M in 16:25)--3:47 (.5), 7:37 (1M), 14:57 (2M), 16:25 (2.2M)--7:28 pace
Loop 2 (2.2M-4.4M in 15:35)--20:55 (2.7M), 23:35 (3.2M), 30:35 (4.2M), 32:00 (4.4M)--7:05 pace
Loop 3 (4.4M-6.6M in 14:38)--35:20 (4.9M), 38:45 (5.4M), 45:12 (6.4M), 46:38 (6.6M)--6:39 pace

It's funny.  There were times during this run when I said I didn't feel like running but something inside me, despite the 80 degrees with thick humdity, that compelled me to continue.  I guess that's called drive.  Coincidentally, someone walking the trail said to me as I passed him: "Now, that's dedication," to which I replied, "I'm trying."
