3 in the cold rain. I picked up the pace so my out of shape butt was feeling it. Honestly I'm embarrassed that this pace was comfortably hard. It's been a long time since I've gone below 9:00 pace as sad as that is. But I feel accomplished. Got that familiar feeling in my lungs that lets me know I worked hard.
Just for reference, my mile splits were 8:37, 8:08, 8:27. So nothing to shout about but something that was satisfying for me after having gotten into the 9:20 pace gig.
I'm making it a goal to run every day this week.
