I was running again

I wanted to go 8 miles or one hour, which ever was longer. I hit the eight mile at 59:30. Hooray for me. I spent the last ten minutes trying to up the pace - but I think I just maintained it. 7:26 average. I feel like I could maintain that pace for another 35 minutes, which is what it's going to take in Boise. I stayed fairly flat to simulate the race terrain, but got out too late. I ran right at sunset which was amazingly pretty and comfortable. I don't anticipate the atmospheric conditions as being such for the Half. Looking forward to it, though.
