HOLY MOLY    I SURE HOPE I FEEL THIS GREAT COME JUNE11th.  Not sure why today I felt awesome!!!   Okay so due to my work schedule I had to add on to the 11 miler scheduled (including 6 x 1000meters, 0.625 miles) and make it a 15 miler.  I work the next two days and I can't get in long miles before work especially when I am being pulled to a different hospital and have to drive longer, get up earlier.  So to save time this morning I left my house at 5:49 am and ran to the rec center (actually I ran by it to get 4.2 miles before hopping on the TM there for speed).  ON the TM I warmed up for 2 miles and went into the 6 x 1000 meters.  Since I had been doing ONLY 600 meters and at times struggling I thought I would start at 6:18 pace, again I still don't know what 5k race pace is.  Welll it felt   sooooooooooooooooo  easy I thought perhaps the TM was being nice to me.  Like maybe some TMs are easier?  but it was the same as all the rest so I assume I just was having a good day.  I thought maybe it was because it was the first one so I ran the next and had the same results and the third, SAME.  All of these were run with 2 minutes in between at 8:49-8:57 pace.  So for the forth one I ran a 6:15, then another 6:15 increasing the pace for half of it to 6:11.  I ran the last one at AP 6:03.  SERIOUSLY I FELT WICKED GOOD.  Perhaps it was the CRYOTHERAPY with my run over to the rec center in my shorts.  I am sure it was 27 degrees this morning.  Frost but sun almost over the mountains.  I cooled down for a bit to 12 miles and ran another 3 miles home.  Helped a kid cross the road, because not a single car would stop for him with his bike beside him.  This is by the high school. Scary drivers and no mom watching out for him.  He said thanks and was on his way.    AP for road miles totally 7 =  8:15.  No plans to whip it on the other miles today since my 19 miler was decent enough.  Looking SO forward to this SATURDAY  : DDDDDDDDDDDDDD   I FEEL INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORE SMILY FACES  :   DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Super run - sounds like everything was just firing. Bodes awesome!

And good running Karma to you on this one as well... people can be so unthoughtful. Good for you for helping the kid cross. Woot! Have a great day. :)
