I have been letting the first mile dictate my pace for each run.  If I feel good, I go with it.  One of the benefits of running with no real goal.  Started out at 7:25 and decided to go with it.  Maintained a steady pace the entire run.  Felt very good. Even though my fitness is still behind, I am running faster now than when I was training.  Ever since I started doing my lunchtime runs outside, I have noticed that it is windy every day.  I don't know if it is because of the time of day that I am running of if it is always windy on the JRP.  It also seems that I have a headwind regardless of the direction I am running.

Pacing the Striders 30K tomorrow.  Hoping that I can handle the distance.  I'm not worried about the pace (8:46/mile) but I haven't gone longer than 15 miles in a very long time.  If all goes well, I will add an extra 1.4 miles after my pacing duties to get to 20 miles for the day and 50 miles for the week.

I'm confident you'll do just fine with 30k at 8:46/mile. Enjoy the run.
