Interesting run today. 60 degrees and perfect weather. A touch breezy. Was supposed to be just a very easy 'just miles' run. And for the most part, I think it was. Started out first mile at 7:59, then I could feel the pace jump (seemed to be running 7:30 pace for my 2nd mile so I stopped for about a minute, hoping to slow myself down at the 1.5 mile mark). Second mile ended up 7:36 and the 3rd ended up 7:31. Outside of not wanting to be that fast, it felt pretty good, but I stopped again to try to break myself away from the pace. No use, I finally just gave over to it, but kept what felt like a relatively light and comfortable pace. Legs felt a bit heavy at the end, but last night was a tough workout. Pace remained true in feel to mostly comfortable, with the exception of a couple tough hills. 7:59, 7:36, 7:31, 7:36, 7:29, 7:19, 7:18, 7:22 (.5) with .5 cool down @ 7:54. Ave pace for the 7.5 was 7:31
