0800 hrs. Campus Loop. Back in the game after skipping a mid-week run. Temp a manageable 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Fahrenheit) with a strong South breeze. Headed South to the Highway 9 perimeter before tracking North through the campus and residential environs. Completed the 6.17 miles in 1:02:00 for a 10:03 min/mile pace. Not far enough to classify as a long run, but it felt good to get back on the road after a three-day respite. Mahalo.

October 9, 2017

0545 hrs. Dawn Patrol. Campus Loop. Another week of quality runs looms. Coolish temps: 58 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius) and a lack of humidity made for great running weather. Shorts and long-sleeves remains the go-to uniform of choice. Will break out the gloves and soft-shell at the first sign of sub-50 degree weather. Completed the 3.57 miles in 34:46 for a 9:45 min/mile average pace. Solid effort after a couple of days off to recuperate and reload. Mahalo.
