Top Gun

I broke my rule of nothing below 8:00 for the month of August, during my last mile.

"He proceeded below the hard-deck, we were below for just a few seconds. I had the shot. There was no danger, so I took it."

"You took it, and broke a major rule of engagement."

Notes from training log after this evening's run:
Water after miles 3 & 6. overall this was faster than I wanted to go at this point in The Returning but legs felt okay other than soreness and I still took it easy on the downhills to avoid pounding/jarring of bones & joints. This was also in my "racing shoes" which are lighter b/c my training shoes are at work.
