running 27:23 [3] 3.0 mi (9:08 / mi)
After yesterday's mental wussiness and with temperatures 15 degrees cooler at 85, I decided I would do my 3 mile test run on the drive and see just where things stood. Was hoping for around 9:30 pace so very pleasantly surprised! Splits were 437, 430, 427, 416, 448, 444 so I was clearly fading at the end (although there's a slight downhill in the fourth and uphill in the fifth half miles) but I kept telling myself this run was all about staying tough and not about time and even though I wanted to quit I didn't, so I feel really good about this. SofA!
