Long-ish Sunday morning run before work. Up ~0530, shave (no shower), light stretching. Ran from barracks past gym (stopped to sign up for USAF 1/2 Marathon in a week), up hill to Tower Rd - left past tower - left past TAOC, down the hill and home.
Weather was pleasant, w/ a light breeze from the North (first noticed, and very welcome, after I turned left off Tower toward the TAOC).
Took my Camelbak, used sparingly since it wasn't too hot. Felt okay; a bit slow and some tightness in left achilles, but didn't have to walk much. (Took ~45 sec on an early uphill, and probably 1 other 30 sec break.)
Not feeling all that good about either my speed or endurance--need to get into a good stride/rhythm for distance runs then worry about speed.
