Fantastic weather this morning. The coolest and most comfortable I've run in months (in Florida!). Felt really good so I just ran whatever pace felt comfortable. I looked at my watch around 3 miles and I was right around 8. It didn't feel that fast so I just kept running to see what it would feel like to run race pace for a while. When I finished the run it turns out the whole run was sub marathon goal pace.
