Brain Overruled

I ran 8 miles today with the last 1.5 or so a little difficult. That was because my stupid body overruled my brain, which kept trying to slow down my pace. After a couple of outings at a 9-minute-ish pace, my brain was smart enough to know that those runs were at a lower temperature. Today when I started it was about 60 degrees, and rose to about 70 by the time I finished. Walked a couple of times in the 7th mile, and then up the hill before finishing in the neighborhood. Even with those bits of walking I finished under ten minutes/mile. It's nice to be back home but my body needs to listen to my brain.
