Still June... Still starting back up

Comments:
Well, I think it finally hit me why all the runs of late have felt so awful... It is June, and even though I kept up more running this spring than a typical spring, I am still out of shape and needing to build up again to summer mileage. My default pace has been decently quick, but every runs feels like I'm straining and laboring much harder than I'd like. Today I ran Dad's classic 4 mile loop. The first mile included a 2 min portion with Leah along Hulbert and I came through the mile in 8:26. 2nd mile was 7:42. 3rd mile was 7:21. Last mile was 7:00 to the Sunny Breeze property line. I was definitely working hard as the run went on, and I spend much of the final mile counting steps. Cadence was 172 when focused, and 180 around the Walsh Street curve.
