Portsmouth, NH:  It was a beautiful day here with temps in the low 60's and still pretty windy.  Today I wanted to do a little faster running and decided on 3 miles at MP.  I am not really sure what MP is these days but was shooting for around 7:10.  I started out with a 2 mile easy warmup.  I felt ok but a little sluggish maybe from the longer than normal run yesterday.  Also, ran in the evening yesterday and the morning today so not the normal amount of rest.  Once I started the MP miles I started feeling better.  I picked up the pace as I went along and here are the splits for the 3 MP miles: 7:17, 7:07, 6:57.  Kind of strange that each one was 10 seconds faster.  Pretty good run for me and nice to run some faster pace stuff.

Very nice splits on those faster miles. Looks like your target MP is right about where mine is.

Tom, I just hope I can get back to that pace for a marathon. I guess it is one day at a time.
