AM - long run back in to work from the house - left the house shortly before 5 am hoping to get to work at 7:30a. Enjoyable run, since it was about 20 degrees cooler than yesterdays run home. First 1.5 hours in the dark and it was little foggy. Had the headlamp (uncomfortably) on over my manky old hat. It was a relief totake that off. Carried a water bottle and a couple of gels, which I was extremely thankful for near the end of the run. I was rewarded this morning with a beautiful morning, weather wise and very little traffic for most of the run. I did have to make a #2 pit stop (under a local steel grated bridge) :). No attacking dogs or mean vehicles today, surprisingly.
Again, kept it around 8 min / mile. Feeling pretty decent compared to yesterday and considering that my volume is getting up there in a hurry with these runs.
