0630 hrs. Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Game Day. Inaugurated a new pair of New Balance 1260 V6 shoes, which, in the scheme of things, is always good times. Cool temps, but nothing like earlier in the week; in fact, the long-sleeves were a bit much due to the high humidity. Headed out to overcast skies, 64 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Centigrade) and 90% humidity; a steady Southern breeze helped keep things cool-ish. Traffic was a bit much, as the Sooners kicked off at 1100 hrs and the early-birds, professional tailgaters and assorted fiends began descending on Norman before the sun breached the horizon. Completed the 6.01 miles in 58:58 for an average pace of 9:49 min/mile. Uneventful and somewhat awkward in new shoes (like running in clogs). A mere 14.07 miles for the week on three runs. Mahalo.
