Happy November! I don't understand why it takes me so long to get going in the mornings, but once I got going ... well never mind. My first mile was over 11 minutes and my second mile was over 10 minutes. Finally, I got some energy and the rest of the miles were under 9 minutes. Miles 5 and 6 were 8:04 each and the last .45 miles were run at a 7:58 pace. Overall average pace was 8:48 for 6.45 miles. This was a good start for a new month and a new week. I guess I'll need to start wearing face masks. When I got back, I noticed that my cheeks were numb, as if I'd just returned from the dentist. The temperature was 40 degrees, but it felt colder.
