Legs felt a bit tired from Saturday & Sunday so headed to the trail for a run.  I knew I couldn’t do anything too strenuous, but wanted to do a couple of faster miles.  As such I decided to do a 2 mile warm up, then 1 mile at MGP, then 2 miles easy, 1 more mile of MGP action, and then a jog back to the house.  Here are the splits: 8:45, 8:17, 7:01, 7:59, 7:55, 6:43, 8:19, 2:41 (8:10 pace for 1/3 mile).  I felt good on the trail.  I’m taking Tuesday off as I’ve run a lot of mile in the past 3 days.  However, I’ll be back for 7 miles of close to MGP pace on Wednesday!
