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.

Missed Monday so I needed today to catch up. Got out just before 6 am and got an easy 7 in. I'm really tired and sore. I've got to some how catch up on rest this weekend and get back to 7-8 hours of sleep this coming week.

I've been walking barefoot immediately after runs. Yesterday and today I've started to do barefoot strides (40-50 yards) just to freshen my legs and to see what it feels like to run barefoot. The legs definately feel better. I wish I had somewhere close by to run on grass, like a soccer field or something. I'll continue building and see how my feet and legs respond.

Met up with Mark this morning at Longleaf. My legs felt really sore from the time I got up to the minute we started running. In classic Mark P style, we started out at a blazing 9:48/mile pace... and it felt wonderful! That first mile was almost like a message on my legs. I guess I'm so used to going out at 8:20 or below that I just don't really warm up properly anymore. Our second mile was only 30 or 40 seconds faster and then we settled into what became a fairly consistant pace right around 8. As we progressed into the run we kept dipping into the mid to high 7's. Our last four miles were: 7:58, 7:38, 7:19, 7:24. Fastest 16 miler I've done in years.
