18 on the levee. 6:50 average. Wanted to hit Audobon and do a big city loop, but it's Mardi Gras. Running through the French Quarter and driving through town, even early in the morning, sounded like a bad idea.
After an 8:08 first mile, I settled into a decent pace. I expected to be pretty beat after the last week, but I actually felt good. After 4 miles I decided to relax and let the pace come, and I started working down from 6:55 to 6:30 at the end. Wanted to keep it in the easy zone. No crash, which is a nice sign.
