Didn't feel like going 10,000 this morning, so I set it for 8,000 and looked to see where I would settle. Turns out my initial pace for the first half of today's session was about 2:03.5/500m or so, much, much faster than I normally go.

I slowed down some for the next 2500m after that, so I have some improvement to make, but I still held around 2:05/500m pace for the last 1500m or so.

This is encouraging (and I'm sure is a personal best for this distance), but doesn't mean much for my weight (which remains higher than I'd like) or my running (which I haven't done at all).

For being almost mid-August, today was pretty pleasant, actually.

I cycled in, although I realize if I'm going to continue to ride in the dark, I suppose I should dust off my headlamp.
