I awoke way too early this morning and to make life more challenging I was very angry. Not the best way to start one's day but I challenged myself to go run hard and work all of the anger out of my system to change my mood. I think it has worked and feel that I can be a better person now.

3.85 mi in 40:15 @ 10:27/mi burning 424 calories with 147bpm HRavg.

Okay, there is NO way I ran the first mile at anything near 09:11 but I am happy that I managed a total of 1.00 mi among the other intervals at 9:00/mi pace or better. The quads and hams will certainly be complaining today.
