2.5 miles slow, 5.2 miles steady

Went out before breakfast for 2.5 miles via Queen Margaret Drive at an easy 8:00/mile pace. In the evening I ran the usual Dorchester Avenue route, 5.19 miles in 35:08. The first mile was well outside 7:30 but by the end my average pace had dropped to 6:46/mile. Felt pretty comfortable all the way round.
