     Ran 14 miles today in the afternoon. It was 34 deg and sunny. I ran up past the reservoir and down the canal. The snow along 11 miles of this run [that are on dirt road] is getting worn through to the dirt along over 1/2 of it but the 2 miles along the canal were slower going because there hadn't been any vehicles to make tracks since the snow so I was mostly running where deer had made a trail. I ran the first 7 miles at 8:15 pace and the last 7 at 7:23 ave pace. Last mile in 6:33. 1 1/2 of the last 2 miles are on pavement and it instantly feels faster when I hit that section. Overall pace for 14 was 7:49. My runs have felt better this week than they have in a while.

It's probably the cooler weather that's made your runs feel better :-)
