Streak day 48, 6.73 miles in 1:00:11 (8:57 pace). I decided to do a little up-tempo work for the last 3 miles of my run today, in preparation for Johnny’s 5k. Nearly four miles into the run, I went for a target of 8:00-8:15 pace for the last three miles, after an easy pace of 9:30-10:00 the first 3.7 miles:

That might as well have been a race. Oh, and I decided to turn onto Blue Lick Rd because there was a sidewalk there. Bad move. The sidewalk ran alongside a fairly deep ditch, and then was cut off by a fence and that same ditch. Instead, I had to find a little extra distance on a No Outlet street somewhere else to meet my distance goal:
