I'm still in the recovery mode from Saturday's run. Headed outside today during lunch and ran 2-miles to the track. Decided to do short spurts of running at different speeds to feel how comfortable different speeds/distances would feel. I haven't been able to run on the track since November, so had no idea of how it would feel...Started by running 1 lap by feel, hoping to keep it a little under marathon pace, maybe 6:15ish pace. Was pleasantly surprised to hit the first lap at 1:26...ran a quarter mile at 1:25 pace for 2-miles, every other lap. Did a 3rd mile, hoping to keep it right around marathon pace. First lap was way too fast...slowed it down a bit and comfortable ran (felt like a jog) a 6:51. This was very encouraging. Anything under 7min last Fall took at least a little bit of work...Jogged 2-miles back to the gym and did 30minutes of weights.  Plan on running again in the evening, but not sure yet what pace...will be determined by how I feel...

Hey great run, confidence is key. With the last 2 long runs under 7 min average I really feel confident. Lets make sure we stay mind healthy when we get 2 weeks out, might go a bit crazy here and there.

Your body's desire to surge faster is a good indicator. Great work.
