September 20, 2017

0545 hrs. Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Hit the trail at the appointed hour for a standard maintenance run through familiar environs. Tweaked the route a bit, but stayed within the margin of error in terms of distance. Temperature was a bit warmer (71 degrees Fahrenheit, 22 degrees Celsius) with 90% relative humidity; a nice breeze from the South kept things "coolish." Completed the 3.56 miles in 34:08 for a 9:35 min/mile pace. A veritable Flash Gordon, no doubt. Spartacus Redux Mix on the box for S and Gs. Mahalo.
