Ran to Sam's at 5:40am. As has beenthe case for the past few months, I feel like I'm going at a normal, relaxed pace... maybe a bit north of 7:30s, but then I look at my 400m and 800 meter splits and realize that I start these morning runs at close to 8:30 pace!?! Obviously, I'm tight as all get out at 5:40am after not much time being awake, but come on already. How can the pace feel so normal and yet be so much slower than I did even just one year ago. When I finish these morning runs, I'm often easily slipping down to 7:00 pace for the final half mile, but that feels like a brisk pace. Age is a creepy, creeping creature.

The run today was sort of led by Sam, from the back, and we went past hill of death and down Conn and up Macomb and back Wisconsin. nice to catch up with Smokin' Jim. Pace was probably between 8:00 and 8:30 throughout, but final half mile was 7:50.
