Getting in the groove

Had a nice 7 mile run this morning...non stop, out and back course...did 36:23 out, and 33:21 back, for a total time of 1:09:44, just slightly under a 10 minute pace...beautiful!.   Felt relaxed the whole way, until the last mile or so where i felt like I was pushing a little bit. Temparature was about 75 or so, and I felt warm.  I had no hydration...I did this just to see a) how much endurance I had, and b) how much weight I could lose without replenishment. Well, I surprised myself with the endurance, being able to have enough "juice" to cut 3 minutes off on the return trip.  As for weight, i weigh 220 before the run, and 216.5 after the run...so let's say I lost 3.5 pounds per hour...need to calculate hydration needs...
