8 miles in 1:01:13, 7:39/mi, HR 159. Felt inversely proportional to how I felt waking up this morning on this run (tired, miserable wakeup --> great run). Legs felt some pep (finally) and I noticed that my left adductors weren't sore, something that evidently hasn't happened for a long time because it was/felt noteworthy. So the easy run went well and the 10 short hill sprints sprinkled into the first half felt even better. Nice to have runs like these every now and then.
4 miles in 30:30, 7:37/mi, HR 152. Took about a mile to work thru some stiffness from earlier but warmed up nicely and had a good strong second run.
