Almost four years ago, on July 23, 2005, I ran the Midnight 25K in 3:30:04 and was delighted, I guess because I hadn't attempted any long runs and was drinking a lot. I finished with negative splits typical of my recent long races; out in 1:57:54 and back in 1:32:10. I wrote afterward, at 1:09 a.m., "I felt very, very good. All I wish now is for Pam to stop meowing so loudly. And she will. Within an hour she will be asleep at my feet."
A month earlier, I ran 4X1000 meters in 4:27.0, 4:23.0, 4:17.8, and 4:14.2. I detect little congruity between that and my satisfaction over a three-hour, thirty-minute 25K, and wonder how now I can imagine running 25 kilometers under three hours. I ran a 5K in 22:54 the next weekend. I will have to study my over-under for this weekend.
I jogged and walked the Gimblett Loop in 58:18 tonight, with splits of 12:08, 12:10, 11:21, 11:26, and 11:13.
Yesterday morning I walked the Maple Street Loop, and this morning the Levy Loop.
