Dawn Patrol. Back on the trail after a forced five-day respite. Took some time off to rest and recuperate after a nice stretch of running with little or no issues. I get neurotic and force myself to take time off when things are going well. Felt great to get back out; left the shack before dawn with an absolutely perfect climate for running: 51 degrees Fahrenheit, or almost 11 degrees Celsius, and no wind with which to deal. Cool and calm. A beautiful Autumn morning. Finished the go-to 5.01 mile campus loop in 49:28 for a 9:53 min/mile average pace. Started slow and finished strong. 6-8 to finish out the week, with a couple of days at the gym for fun. Mahalo.
