Got up and at it this morning before the sun was out and while it was still cold. My breathing felt really off for the first six or so miles, which was evident in side aches. I tried really hard to work the uphills today. Between that and it being cold, when I made the last little uphill climb back to 8th East with two miles to go, my glutes really locked up, and I had to fight that for the last mile and a half. I ended up averaging 6:21, and I was pretty happy with that effort. I didn't have any aches or pains either which was nice.
