Cool but humid his morning.  Legs felt tired during the .9 mile warm up, and also for the first 3 miles (of 7 miles).  However, after that I started to feel good so I pushed on.  Last 3 miles felt really good.  Here are the splits: 7:29, 7:11, 7:25, 7:15, 6:46, 6:37, 6:37 (Average pace for the 7 miles were 7:03).  After that it was a .9 mile job back to the house.

Thanks, felt good out there although I wouldn't have survived your 14 mile run ;o).
