Just one of those twilight zone runs.  I was going to do a 5x7:05 pace TM run after good warmup then a good cool down so called Kim at 810am.  She said "hey why don't you come with me, my husband has the day off and is driving me up AF canyon 8 miles".  Of course I dropped everything and hurried over there.  We began our run at mile marker 12 up AF canyon before the fork in the road a ways.  We took off at what felt extremely easy 7:17 for the first mile (we were trying to go slow, a warm up, then do 5 to 6 at 6:30).  We quickly were able to pick it up to 6:30s no problem.  Tried a caffeine gu (I don't even think it is that much, have to look it up) just before taking off, never again.   My heartrate soared on the major uphill out of the canyon at mile 5.  I have always had this problem with caffeine, plus I took it on an empty stomach, so I don't know why I did that.  Just thought I would see.  Wouldn't want to take that at SGM unless after Veyo where the downhill doesn't affect your heart.  Here are our splits:  1:  warmup  7:17   2:  6:27  3:  6:26  4:  6:30   5:  6:54 (huge incline, we were booking it, Kim did her's at 6:50)  6:  6:23  7:  6:17   8:  cooldown 7:24  (this actually felt ridiculously easy, even slow)  9: 8:10  (This felt like we were running in slow motion and there was a good hill up to Kim's house).    We were really happy with this run.  Especially for me since I just ran 18 on Saturday at 7:33 pace.  So getting excited, hoping this is a good sign.  Kim felt way awesome too.  We are getting in the zone.   Got to work tonight so that puts a damper on things but I see the light.  SGM is not far off now.  I can hold on for these next few weeks.
