Ran today at a bit faster pace than normal.  If I had gotten up at the usual time (20 minute earlier) I could have done 10 today but was happy to get at least the 8 miles.  I must have slept well because my back really wasn't bothering me at all this morning.  Usually have a dull ache that never goes away but this morning things felt really good.  I was able to do 4 miles under 8:00/mile pace and I think I did a couple under 7:50/pace.  I actually feel really good after a faster paced run most of the time, it seems like the next day's run is when the fatigue shows itself, we will see tomorrow.  The weather continues to be unbeleivable but for how much longer.....who knows.  I have been thinking about investin in a pair of running tights for the winter months but they are really expensive.  Since the cooler months are really only about 3 months of the year I will probably just suck it up and use the old sweat pants for another year.

Time:  8:10/mile
