I had a final this morning so I ran a later in the afternoon. My wife Kimia rode the bike while I ran. My run today was short because I want to be ready to kick BYU's butt tomorrow, so I figured a decrease in mileage for the day was in order. I will run another 3 miles tomorrow morning just to get my legs moving and ready for the day. We started slow for an afternoon run and went through the first mile in about 8:00. We then sped up a little but not much, making it through 3 miles in 23:33 and 4 miles in 31:22. After this we sped up a little more, going through 5 miles in 38:53 (7:31). At this point I decided to run a quarter at a hard but comfortable pace and I ran it in 1:23 (42, 41). The only reason I was slower the first 200 was because it took me a bit to get up to speed. It felt like a good marathon pace, and when I account for speeding up at the beginning it was a 5:28 average pace. I then slowed down so that Kimia could catch up and then we went home to finish 6 miles in 46:18.
