Sat, Aug 17 - 4.8 miles

Back out at the Regional Park Sat evening. I am planning on my long run, about 7 miles, Sun, so I took it easy. Ran clockwise, which I never do due to a hill right out of the gate in that direction and I'm not warmed up, plus finishes with an uphill. This direction is always slower. Went thru the first 2.4 mile lap in 26:02 (10:51 pace). I had warmed up and towards the end of the 1st lap was moving pretty good on sections so I left the car with the plan to negative split the 2nd lap. Continued to move well and did some mini intervals along the easier sections. It felt good. Ended up the 2nd lap in 24:12 (10:05 pace). This is the first time this season I have negative split any laps at the park. Also is by far the fastest I have ran any 2nd laps. And didn't push much at all. A good run.
