Almost Like Cheating

Just reeled off a 5-miler, and yes, it really felt like it was "reeled off." After several weeks of running in the blazingly direct sunlight, which I'm convinced has a cumulative effect, I waited until 8 o'clock tonight before setting out. What a difference! Running in the last light of the day was incredibly refreshing. My pace was quicker, the hills seemed like mere bumps in the path, and I was hardly sweating compared to what's come lately. Since tomorrow is speed work I will probably wait until late to run again.
