Two day break, lots of stretching, full hydration, and what do I have to show for it? Positive splits. It started promisingly enough-- unfortunately, it would seem I didn't have enough raw strength to sustain a hard run of that speed. Or something like that. Normally I speed up in the last 1.5 and 2.5 splits, but not today.

If busting my ass gets me an overall 8:03 pace, I 've got another think coming.

On the other hand, I run markedly faster when I'm not packing snivel gear. That wasn't an option today, as the weather line will indicate.
