Since I had cancelled my first short run this week, because I was looking at three consecutive days of running, this was actually the middle run of this week, only three miles. For this run, for whatever reason, I decided to push the envelope a bit, and give it 80% or more of maximum exertion for better than half the course, including close to 100% for the last mile.
The result? My best mile time of 8:48 (on the last mile!) and my best overall time of less than 28 minutes for the whole three.
The course was in and around Chestnut Street, with some detours into side street, and two trips past the Ocean County vehicle maintenance yard, where 16 employees split a share of the most recent lottery winnings from the Powerball. Good for them.
Again, no Nike Pep-talker.
The run.
