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!

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.
