Wow! I finally, finally broke an 11:00 pace! Woo hoo!

Of course, that's nowhere near my usual 9:45-10:00 pace from a few years ago, but what the hell. I've only been running consistently for two months; although I've been running off-and-on for years, this is the first time since 2002 that I've really stuck to a training schedule. It's not especially difficult, but it's definitely not as easy as it was when I was 29.

I have to admit, this was more challenging today, so I don't know if I can do it again tomorrow, but I'll definitely try. My allergies keep me from getting a full breath, so that doesn't help. But not bad at all.

Pre-run snack: 1 large banana.
Breakfast: 3/4 cup homemade granola; 3/4 cup plain yogurt; 1 half-glass chocolate milk.
Lunch: PB&J on whole wheat bread; half a nectarine (it tasted awful, so I didn't finish it).
