Better run today, left from home and ran up and down Starkey blvd. Nice weather this morning. I was able to start out not too slowly and felt pretty good as I approached the turnaround. The nice thing is they now have asphalt down over where they had torn up the sidewalk. So, now the Starkey Blvd bike trail will extend all the way to Starkey Park and continue all the way to the bike trail, so no more having to run on the uneven sidewalk or along the road. I pushed the pace a bit on the way back with some 7:30ish miles, then had to back it down to the 7:50's for the 9th and 10th mile. But, for the last mile my pace magically picked up to 7:08, which was nice.
Average pace: 7:53 Felt a little bit sore afterward, so still need to spend some time taking it easy so I can get back to really enjoying my runs. But, today was a good start.
