Easy run. Average pace: 9:23. Weather: 50° F, 74% humidity, wind 3 ESE, partly cloudy. I got up earlier today because I need to be on time to work for a change. I was out the door for my run just after 5:30. I ran my normal 10 mile route in reverse. I think it's harder this way. Of course the total elevation gain and loss is the same. However, I think the uphills going this direction are more gradual but longer than the uphills going the same direction. So what is a long distance of a gentle downhill going the other direction becomes a long climb going this direction, while the steeper but shorter uphills of the other direction and brief downhills going this direction. That's why I like the other direction better and do it so much more. I should do the direction I did today more often because it's more of a challenge. Splits were 10:13, 9:49, 9:39, 9:39, 9:01, 8:56, 8:58, 9:14, 9:08, 9:12. I guess those last three miles are hard going either direction because they're normally my first three miles and they're always my slowest miles when they're the first three. I think I've got everything I need for work tomorrow all ready to go so that I can leave it there today and run to work tomorrow.
