Tonight ran an awesome 7.5 miles from home to Shrine Hill loop and back in a pretty quick 49:21. Had 26:22 half way. First mile legs were pretty beat up, but then felt great and was effortlessly running 6:50 pace. When I got to the top of Shrine Hill (half way point), I stretched and then took off with a 6:11 mile, then 6:15, then dropped down even more to finish w/ the last mile in 5:39! Really didn't expect the legs to have such good response after this weekend. But the weather has been cool and I've had decent sleep the past two nights. What a difference. Glad I moved this weeks workout to Wednesday night. Need to get back on track and break 18:00 at Little Italy this Saturday. 317.5 miles for the month of August. Most miles I've ever run in a month.
