Beautiful day with cool temperatures and low humidity. Sun warmed up some by the end of the run, but great conditions. Covered 15 miles average pace of 7:48 with final mile near MP at 7:22. Except for sore back from painting, felt exceptionally strong today. Didn't really try to accelerate in the final mile. Pleasant surprise.

Interval workout in moderate morning temps and sun. Three x two-mile intervals with three minutes of jogging in between. Splits were 12:50, 12:54, 12:33. Last one included a pit stop in the woods at 1.5 miles, so the finish might have been faster than otherwise, but the first mile of that interval was still 6:16 and I think I could have kicked it in pretty solidly.

Medium long run around the neighborhood average pace 7:45. Overcast with temp in low 70s and quite humid. Felt strong during the run, but a bit zonked afterward.

Well, I hope I don't jinx myself, but this was my best 20-mile run ever! Perfect weather = Temps in 50s, sunny and only a little breeze. Morning run in very clean air and low humidity after hurricane Irene buzzed through yesterday. Average pace for the run was 7:47. First mile in 8:14 and final mile in a brisk 6:59.=) 20 days to go, 10 days to stay healthy and get to the starting line fresh.
