AM Wow, what a great run today when I thought it was gonna be a total dud. I didn't eat enough yesterday, got a poor nights sleep, and had stomach issues this morning. Kept the pace slow for the first 2 miles, then I had an emergency pit stop...ahh that's better! After that things felt good, and then great! I did the US 40 loop with 2 miles of the dinner time loop, and was able to keep the pace sub 7:00 the last 7.38 miles of the run. I think part of this is from the hill sprints I have been doing over the last 3 weeks. I only do 4 short reps all out, but the next day my legs feel strong! I think these are now a permanent part of my running routine. Run: 5.30 miles avg. 7:41 pace, then 7.38 miles avg. 6:56 per mile. Total of 12.68 in 1:31:56, avg. 7:15 per mile. 2 miles with Griffin for a cool-down
