It was a cool 37 degrees today and I felt good after all my time off.  (I intended to run yesterday, but didn't.)  Ran 4.6 miles in 37:26 for an average pace of 8:08/mile with increasing rates each mile.

So, I committed to run the Woodlands Houston marathon on Mar 1 with my brother.  Since then, it has been really difficult to get out and run.  But, I finally did get out for a short 4 mile run this morning.  Obviously, I was not worn out and I did pretty good.  4.08 miles in 32:03 or 7:54/mile on average.

4.62 miles in 36:33 or 7:55 per mile.  I've got the speed I need.  Next task is to gradually increase the distance.

While the GPS lasted, I ran up the trail and part way down (6.44 miles) in 52:45 which is 8:12 per mile.  The whole trip took 1:22 based on the clock time.  That also indicates an average pace of 8:12.
