     We got about another 1/2 inch of rain this morning so I waited and did a PM run. It was nice out with the temp at 61 and a light breeze. I went out for a 4 mile out and back twice on my only stretch of pavement without going out to the highway. First four was a progression. 7:54,7:37,7:15,7:00 for an average pace of 7:26. Then 4 miles of tempo not shooting for any particular pace just run a comfortably hard pace. I ran 6:33, 6:31, 6:20, and 5:59. for an average pace of 6:20. The first 3 miles were what I wanted but there was nothing comfortable about the last mile. The last 3 miles were in 18:50. That's 6:16/mile pace which would be a 19:25 5K. I felt real good about this workout. 6:53 ave pace overall for 8 miles.

Wow, good run. It seems your very comfortable at these paces. Some day I hope to be closer to these paces too.

I wish those paces always felt that good. Some days everything just feels great. That's the way you would like to feel on race day.
