warmup, drill and cooldown. some in nikes.

shoe store personnel said not to run in these, my most self-indulgent shoe purchase ever, before race day, but that didnt seem like a good idea for ordinary times, and even less now, when 'races' might never happen. I bought them because I was not sure I could run long on asphalt without something like them, and I think the proof was in this pudding.

Anyway, roughly 9.5 mile tempo run on asphalt loop in cemetery, 2 laps = 1.04 miles. There was a 47:45 minute or so 10k embedded in there. Slowed dramatically at the end, so some adjustment needed to complete half marathon distance.

1 mile 8:02 pace
2 8:05
2.5 7:48 (mispunch)
3.5 7:48
4.5 7:42
