9:58! Good work! My last 8 was at the end of the week, and I was something like a 10:30. I REALLY want to do a 12k under 9:40 next May, so I'm hopeful that in a race situation I'd be able to push harder, and that the rest of my endurance training and winter base building will do me good.

Your weather sounds great. Today was a shorter day for me (tomorrow the longer), and it was already 72 at 10:30 with sun sun sun. Tomorrow I'll be getting up earlier, but the weather's supposed to be cooler anyway. I'm so ready for fall!

Enjoy your ride, and good luck to everyone with their long runs
