I ran alone at 8 pm. It was supposed to start raining but didn't, and instead was windy but still quite warm. I ran three miles, the first in 8:56, the second in 7:34, and the third in 7:50, total 24:20. I felt pretty good, could have opened it up a bit more, but felt like that was plenty for me.

When I'm under the gun to get a workout in, it's hard to give adequate time to a warmup and cooldown. I need to build those in, though, because at the very least they will increase my mileage and hopefully result in better running.

I was unloading from a recent move and set up some computer speakers. When I removed most of the speakers from the bag they were in I saw my running watch, long since lost. It was very pleasant to find it because I've wanted to start tracking my running time more carefully. So this was the first run involving a watch in a long time.
