My training plan called for a 15K race today, but that is a sort of odd distance and I couldn't find one. So I did 15K on the trails to see where I am for speed. Not where I want to be, it turns out. But the coolest things have been happening on my runs. Thursday morning on my 3 mile run, I saw a shooting star (it is still dark out when I am running). Then, today, I was running through the trees and a deer ran in front of me across the trail. It was so close that I could have reached out and touched it if I hadn't been so startled by it.
Anyway, here are my splits from this morning. I averaged about 30 seconds slower per mile than I wanted to, but I will cut myself a little slack for the terrain, I guess.
Mile 1: 10:50
Mile 2: 10:08
Mile 3: 10:51
Mile 4: 11:09
Mile 5: 11:01
Mile 6: 11:40
Mile 7: 10:43
Mile 8: 11:51
Mile 9: 10:04
Last .3 Mile: 2:41
Total: 1:41:02

i can't believe you get up so early. i understand why but it's just not right. no one should be out of bed before 6 or 7.
btw, your splits are faster than mine for a simple 2 mile run.
good job.
