I got out a little earlier than I had been thanks to the start of early morning seminary. I got dressed for running, drove my son to seminary, and then came home and ran. I ran my standard 4 mile course. I started slow, then tried to do a little fartlek with 4 relatively short stretches of faster running separated by a significant cooldown of slower running. It's hard for me to do speedwork because almost always start and end my runs at my house and the area where I live is very hilly, not to mention that it's at an altitude of about 5800 ft.
In any case, here are my stats for this morning:
Mile 1 - 10:13
Mile 2 - 9:30
Mile 3 - 9:00
Mile 4 - 9:29
Average pace: 9:33
