Today was a beautiful day to run. I got out the door at around 5am. The sun was just starting to rise, so it was actually light for my whole run. I like that. Temp was a lovely 50F.
This weekend I bought some compression shorts so my thunder thighs (thanks genetics) don't rub together. Today was my first run with them. Very helpful. They only had men's shorts, but they worked just fine. Don't tell any one, okay?
My run was split in two today. I started out by setting my Virtual Partner to a 11:10 min/mi pace for 30 minutes. That was a little faster than previous. Since I didn't do much of a warm-up, I blew by him. However, about 10 minutes into the run, a not-so-good thing happened. I had to "go". Frustrating. So, I looped back around to home and took care of business.
Since the first 14:39 went well, decided to up the ante and set VP for a 10:00 min/mi pace for 15 minutes. I almost got there. I ended up with an average pace of 10:05min/mi. I think VP won by around 150ft. Maybe next time! My average pace for the first run was 10:46 min/mi, so speeding the VP up seemed to help! I went 1.35 mi first and 1.49 mi second for a total of 2.84 miles.

I hate having to go during a run!
I'm glad your VP is keeping you on your toes!
I.love.compression.shorts.
Guilty secret (you shared yours,after all - men's shorts) - I wear them under skirts and dresses at work. I used to hate wearing skirts because of sweaty sticky thighs. Not anymore!!
