That Last Couple of Runs

I haven't posted since I think Wednesday, I am such a slacker haha. Friday I ran 4 miles to recover from Wednesday's 8.5 miles (2.5 was spur of the moment). Ran the four miles in 42:49 with an average pace of 10:42 min/mile, temperatures at 61 degrees, humidity of 88% and I believe it was cloudy.
Splits/laps were:
Mile 1 - 11:22
Mile 2 - 10:37
Mile 3 - 10:38
Mile 4 - 10:10
   Not bad at all, Saturday I walked around took photos so I think I walked about 3 miles. Sunday morning I got up and was out the door by 5:23 a.m which is actually pretty early for my long runs on the weekends. The temperature was 64 degrees and humidity 100%, blah, some nice stranger drove by and gave me a reflector vest because he said he couldn't see me, granted my apparel for that run wasn't bright or reflective. Total elevation for 10 miles was 214 feet with a loss of 223, not bad for trying to involve hills. I ran the 10 miles the slowest I have this year, with a time of 1:44:28 and an average pace of 10:26 min/mile but it was a good run.
Splits/laps were:
Mile 1 - 11:28
Mile 2 - 10:43
Mile 3 - 10:30
Mile 4 - 10:40
Mile 5 - 10:40
Mile 6 - 10:40
Mile 7 - 10:20
Mile 8 - 10:16
Mile 9 - 9:44
Mile 10 - 9:24

   A good run, strange lap times but overall it was good and I felt great afterwards though I was wiped by the afternoon. This morning I really didn't want to get out of bed, but I was out the door by 5:57 a.m for a 4.5 mile easy recovery run. Strangely it says total elevation of 102 feet which I just can't honestly believe. I ran the 4.5 miles in 48:50 with an average pace of 10:51 min/mile which is really slow for me this year, oh well a recovery run is supposed to be slow.
Splits/laps were:
Mile 1 - 11:43
Mile 2 - 11:06
Mile 3 - 10:52
Mile 4 - 10:24
.5      - 9:31
