Cold today! At the track by 6:30, which was still near-darkness. Just as well the pace was backed off a little, as it's hard to get going in the cold and dark. Felt strong, though--goal pace was probably a bit conservative.

It's finally getting cooler in the mornings--almost feels like autumn. The track was quieter, with dawn just starting to break as I got there.
Road intervals. Warm, foggy morning. Light is going quickly now; I started in the dark, but things had brightened up considerably by the time I had warmed up. I felt strong throughout, so the pace was likely a little conservative relative to goal 5k pace. No GPS watch, no idea how fast I was really going.
