I did this run on the treadmill so I don't have the usual motion-based info attached to it. This was a very good run! I was worked from a 9:45 pace into a 7:00 pace for by the end of the run. It felt like a good effort I could've kept up a little longer. This is just further proof that I CAN push myself harder and that it's easier on a treadmill. If this continues to be the case I may do most of my tempo runs on a treadmill from now on.

After dinner I went with Val to the Commons where they've finally finished turning the downstairs into this amazing study/coffee place. It's huge with a 500 person capacity and I got a lot of good studying done. So far I'm on top of all my readings and I have a few minor assignments to finish up over the weekend if I want to stay ahead of the power curve. I feel much more motivated to get better grades this year for some reason. We'll see if it doesn't wear off by the first round of tests/reports/presentations.

We have a Corps Run tomorrow so I'll be getting a few more miles in for the week before my 10 mile run on Sat. morning. We're also playing The Citadel Saturday evening which should be a gimme and a good start to the football season.
