Slow start this morning; I was up past midnight working. So waved off the usual 4:30 wakeup and went with my later time. Then, even after the boys were off, I was exhausted and slow-moving. But I made it here and onto the treadmill. Slow going because I still felt a little sick; and then…

Nice, quick and tiring run: 3.1 in 29:59. That’s definitely a local maximum on pace. The negative splits pulled me from 10 to 9:12.

Negative splits are my friend.
