AM - 8 miles, 5:59 pace. still felt a little tired, but figured with all these runs in the 6:15-6:35 range lately i'd see how much more effort it'd take to get these down to the 5:50-6:10 range. turns out not much. aerobically it was super doable; my legs just need to get a little bit stronger. average HR was 134!!! considering 4 months ago i was averaging probably 7:20's on my easier runs i think it's conceivable that this could be the normal "non-workout run" pace by the time i'm getting ready to race in early febuary.
PM - off. legs feel alright but figured i'd give them a little extra rest for the workout in the morning. maybe i'd be better off running to loosen up. oh well, i'll go hard tomorrow
