Drove to LPT and ran eight miles. Mostly cloudy, 47F, light breezes.
Made an effort to run mile 5 "fast"". Ended up with 7:14 (this is fast for me). This is the first real effort I've made to run hard. It felt really good. I think with more practice I can improve my speed quite a bit.
Avg pace 8:43/mi. (let's see this come down...alot, by Fall marathon time).
I just looked at 8 yr. old Jennifer Pachevs blog...she's faster than me. I'm being chicked by an 8 yr old girl! Lol! If that doesn't motivate me, nothing will.
