Slow to fast

10 miles in the morning. With all the time off (I haven't run since Wednesday) I felt really good and ran a bit faster than normal, about 7:30. At he very end of it I felt just a twinkle of pain in my knee.

4 x 1200m with 400m jog.

4:33, 4:30, 4:30, 4:30

I probably could have gone for 4:25 or faster but I was worried about tweaking my knee. Luckily no knee pain this morning.

5 miles this morning.

Could everyone please set your sprinklers to run sometime before 6:00 AM?  And do we all really need to be watering the concrete and asphalt?  How can it be 2014 and our society hasn't figured these things out?

3 mi tempo
6:35, 6:34, 6:37

The instantaneous pace on my watch is usually pretty good: not too sensitive so that's jumping all over the place but gives me a pretty good idea how fast I'm going. This morning it seemed to be a bit slow to react to pace changes. I should have been looking at average lap pace but I don't usually have trouble with the instantaneous pace. The other problem was that my legs kept wanting to go faster than planned and I didn't have a great feel for 6:40 pace.

7 mi this morning.

I had a full Saturday and couldn't run in the morning so I wanted until 10 pm to go. But it was very hard by then to find the motivation. I had been up late on Friday I was super tired but the run went well. It was just a little shorter than I had hoped.
