Morning run, Breezy, Temp 50' This was my first 40+ miles/week since August. If I'm going to run a marathon on my Birthday in April next year I've got to start putting in more 40+ mile weeks. This morning I felt great and I started running good right from the start. I averaged 7:30 miles on the 1st 5 miles that are slightly up hill, then I turned around and ran a 6:13, 6:18, 6:24. After 3 fast miles my legs told me that it would be wise to slow down, The legs were starting to hurt. I really didn't want to slow down because I was on pace to do sub 7 minute miles, but way back in the background I could faintly hear Sasha telling me to do the smart thing. I slowed down a bit and my legs thanked me. Today I didn't feel old until mile 8. Also, the back was hurting a lot last night but it was gone for this mornings run. Lucky.
Time 70:43, Mile avg. - 7:00
