8 miles -- maffetone test

I went out the door this morning with no real plan. I realized that with the 8K I'm running on Saturday and my schedule this week, this would be the last chance at a final MAF test before then, so I went ahead. I've added the previous data.

Weather
5/13 - 56F temp/53F dew pt.
6/03 - 66F temp/60F dew pt.
6/24 - 70F temp/67F dew pt.
7/10 - 67F temp/58F dew pt.

Warmup (a little over two miles)
5/13 - 21:04/131
6/03 - 22:49/131
6/24 - 22:13/133
7/10 - 22:28/130

_____5/13__6/3__6/24__7/10
Mile 1 09:18 09:59 09:53 09:30
Mile 2 09:32 10:02 10:01 09:32
Mile 3 09:35 09:57 09:54 09:34
Mile 4 09:45 09:59 10:09 09:38
Mile 5 09:52 10:05 10:19 09:45

As you can see, the weather on 6/3 and 7/10 was essentially identical and I was 20-30 seconds faster on each split. It will be interesting to see how Saturday goes. Pacing will be a bit of an experiment.
