Did 10 today at MAFC at just about 9:00 pace. I was cruising along, could have done another 3 or so easily, but decided I needed to check my phone. Sure enough, something there that needed my attention. Actually, that was the case twice. I ran 4 miles, checked it, needed to leave, came back an hour or so later and did the other 6. Both at ~9:00. Legs felt fine. No aftereffects at all from Saturday's numbness. I think I could have finished 13.1 in under two hours no problem, since I did 10.03 in 90:36 and had plenty left.

 Having a little relationship blip otherwise. That's the thing that needed my attention at that moment.

Cruised 8 at MAFC in sub-9 pace. That's feeling pretty comfortable right now, which is good.

Leg didn't go numb. Comfortable <9:25 pace, not a bad day to run. We'll see if I can do another 8 tomorrow morning with the WAR crew.
