It was an absolutely awesome day for running this morning. Temps in the mid 50's and no wind. I felt ok today nothing special. Today I planned on getting in some MP miles just to get some extra faster miles for the week. I ran a few miles warmup and was sluggish starting but felt better as I went along. My goal was to run the MP miles at around 7:10 pace. Not really sure what MP is these days but seemed like a decent target. I did the 4 MP miles with the following splits: 7:13, 7:08, 7:06, 7:02. It was good to run a little faster as I went along and the miles felt very controlled. I didn't feel like I had to push to keep the pace. Actually a few times I looked down at the watch and was running faster than I wanted so had to back off. Overall a good run and if I can get in a long run tomorrow will cap off a good week. I have had about 3 weeks of solid training and I can feel the body starting to respond. It is a good feeling and one that I haven't had in awhile. 60:45 (7:36 avg)
