Again today was an easy run, but my pace was a little faster than normal. My Garmin buddy clocked me at an average pace of less than 9:30/mile for the 6 miles I ran. That's not a whole lot quicker than the 10-minute pace I usually shoot for, but it still makes me think it's easier to run faster in the cooler weather. Hopefully that bodes well for the Memphis Marathon since the average temp there on race day is in the mid-40's.
The only drawback to what was otherwise a perfect running day was huge clouds of gnats along Shoal Creek Parkway. Portions of it are still pasture for cows, and apparently it was Gnats' Night Out. I switched to the east side of the street on the way back to the neighborhood, and that was a little better. I might avoid that route for the next few runs.
