AM. 5.9 easy miles with Larry.

PM. 6.2 easy miles with Tom.

Once again I experienced the phenomenon of running in the morning at a certain effort level and running in the middle of the day at what feels like the same effort level and having the pace of the daytime run be significantly faster (about 1:00 minute per mile today) than the morning pace. An interesting experiment would be to run in the morning with Tom and at midday with Larry. Is it the time of day, or who I'm running with? I'm sure who I'm running with has some effect, but I've experienced the same thing when I've run alone in the morning and alone at midday. Hmmm.

Paul I think it's probably a little of both, but I definitely have an easier time feeling comfortable at a quicker pace in the afternoon vs. the morning. Lately it seems to take 3-4 miles for me to get going in the early AM hours.
