142 days to go - From Dawn till Dusk

Route #4 Duration : 42 min 11 sec Energy : 588 KCal Distance : 4.9 miles Max HR : 165 bpm Av HR : 152 bpm Mile pace : 08:36 min/mile I got really involved with computer issues this morning and it was 3pm before I knew it. In order to finish my run before it got dark I decided to go for a shorter faster run today with a longer run tomorrow to finish my weekly total. As it happens it was damned nearly dark by the time I got home anyway. I was slightly disappointed with the pace I achieved - it was faster than my "4hr pace" (9min/mile) but I was anticipating running this shorter distance in under 8 min / mile. I need to do some speed work to get my pace up.
