Well, that’s good. At least I was on target for my overall pace—I wanted to be around 10 minute miles for the entire run. On the whole, tonight felt easier than Tuesday. It actually seemed easiest when I could get myself going a little faster, like around 9:30. Then I felt the groove, the flow—I felt like I was really running. I huffed and puffed it out for the first one and half laps, but the final bit felt normal and easy.

I discovered two things tonight. One, Rilo Kiley’s “Under the Blacklight” CD makes for excellent running music. Two, I do not like armbands for containing my iPod Nano. I just have to hold it, so that I have control over volume or quick fast-fowarding. I love my Nano, but in a way, it was just easier with the Shuffle. Oh well. At least now I can get creative with playlists!

Sunday, I’m going to do 7 miles or so. If the paths in Loring Park weren’t such a disaster, I’d head out on the Kenilworth Trail. Actually, I suppose I still could—I could go a very unorthodox way. Maybe I’ll run up to Lee’s, and start there. I still gotta get back somehow, unless I run around the western perimeter of the park, near the dog park and Joe’s Garage. Maybe I’ll try that. I admit, I’m a little sick of Lake of the Isles.

I would love to run with Kiwi this weekend, but she’s doing 11. I don’t think I’m up for that! But I hope she has a great run, indoors or out.
