Weekend One-Hour Jog

I just completed the second of my two weekend athletic missions,
namely a one-hour jog.
I changed my initial plan, and split the training into two separate session:
one before dinner, and the other after dinner.
The former session started ten to six.
It was drizzling, but that didn't bother me.
I started off at between half and full marathon pace,
and kept that pace for half an hour.
Dinner was scheduled at 6:30,
and I didn't want to keep Mom waiting to start the meal,
so I stopped after running 6K in about 30 minutes.

After having dinner, I was so sleepy,
so I took a nap.
However, what was meant to be a short nap
ended up being a substantial sleep.
I woke up almost past midnight.

I changed into my athletic gear and hit the road.
By then it had completely stopped raining,
and the road was dry.
Also, traffic was less, and it was more suitable
for undisturbed running.
I kept a similar pace to the one in the first session,
and ran another 6 K in about thirty minutes,
except that I injected the pace a little bit in the last K.

The lap of each K is as follows:
Lap 1: 5:04.86
Lap 2: 5:00.46
Lap 3: 5:00.64
Lap 4: 5:05.92
Lap 5: 5:01.42
Lap 6: 5.09.91
Dinner Break
Lap 7: 4:57.46
Lap 8: 4.58.68
Lap 9: 5:02.07
Lap 10: 4.59.58
Lap 11: 5:03.41
Lap 12: 4:41.76
Total 12 K: 1:00.06
