Day 196

• 5.83 miles
• 7:59/mile pace
• 0611
• Thunderbird Park
• Above listed pace is very fast for me considering the paths taken -- this may be the hardest I have run in a long time, which is good, except that I am still experiencing shortness of breath some 2 hours later as I type this.  Believe the pace overall is greatly assisted by the fact that I pushed on the flat portions more than usual, but also by the fact that I maintained focus and pushed on most other sections as well...I guess I'm happy with that.   [Additional details:   2 loops, one each direction, plus effort to mid station plus hard running finish in parking lot]
