S7H.

T=78-70 degrees.

WU, drills, and CD for 3 miles.

Legs felt tired, were not fully recover from Saturday's run. I was tempted to take it easy and run with the group instead of doing MGP run by myself.

Ran 6 miles @ 7:47" pace average, mostly at 7:50" pace except on last mile. First 5 miles at medium to medium hard effort; last mile at controlled hard effort.

It was mentally more challenge than physically, probably because I do not have anyone to run with. To motivate myself, I made believe I am running the last 6 miles of the Marathon.

Knee felt OK after warming up.

Good work out.

I ran the first 5.5 miles at about 7:50" pace. I picked up the pace on last 0.5 mile, probably at about 7:20" pace. Total time for 6 miles was 46:38".

How fast did you run the last mile?

Please excuse my math (=:

If my first 5.5 miles at 7:50" pace, then my last 0.5 mile was at 6:56" pace.
