A clydesdale no more!

Drove to the LPT and got in a couple of warm up miles before Kam and Tara arrived.  I don't think any of us where in the mood for anything too hard.  We started out with a few easy miles while we decided what we wanted to do.  After 4.5 miles at 8:30/mile we started to pick up the pace.  Ran 7:30, 7:00 and 6:30 for the next 3 miles.  The faster paces felt good.  I wasn't feeling great when I started the run and didn't think I could muster anything faster than 8:00.

The mornings are cooling which makes running so much more enjoyable.  Felt better this morning than I have in a very long time.  Started with an easy mile then comfortably ran 7:15's the rest of the way.  Effort felt great and the body was moving very well. 

I didn't want to venture too far from home in case I was needed so I made sure I was always within 30 minutes of the house.  I was able to run a route that kept me close to home but didn't feel like I was running the same loop for 2 1/2 hours.  Run felt great.  Averaged 8:05/mile and it felt incredibly comfortable.  The body was moving well.

I only got in 3 runs this week but they were all quality runs.  I'm not sure if I should be disappointed about the low miles or be happy with how good they all felt.  I wonder if I should stick to the 3 days running and 3 days at the gym schedule.
