Was planning on doing this race as more of a long run workout, originally planning on running the first 10 at marathon pace and then cutting down on the last three. Obviously that planned changed when the race started. Got into the first mile a little under 6:00 pace, but by mile 3 I was running low 5:40s and it felt easy. That's when I figured I could run under 1:15 without having to dig too deep. Pace held a little under or a little over 5:40 for the rest of the race. Felt very controlled up until the last mile when the effort increased some, closing in sub-5:30 pace for that mile. Overall pretty happy with how this went. Looks like I'm in better shape than I thought I was. This helped build some confidence of running under 2:30 for a marathon someday.

Workout today was 2x4 miles with a mile steady in between. Pacewise, wasn't the greatest but it was still decent in terms of volume and effort.

1st tempo: 5:50-5:47-5:46-5:41

steady mile in 6:40

2nd tempo: 5:44-5:45-5:43-5:40

Would've liked to have been in the 5:30s and wanted to keep the steady mile around 6:30, so overall about 10 seconds/mile slower on everything. Aerobically it felt pretty manageable for most of the workout, just couldn't get my legs up to speed today - they felt kind of stiff and not very bouncy today. Still good to get another workout checked off.
