Ran a longer run than usual on Sunday not sure why just felt really good to do. I ran 12.2 miles at an overall 7:01 pace in 1:25. I did my standard Satterfield Hill loop but I added a few miles in the beginning before heading up the hill. Did a sort of a tinman tempo the last 4 miles. Mile 9: 6:03 (Felt easy and .8 of it was downhill coming down Satterfield) Mile 10: 5:50 (.3 Downhill the rest flat. Felt easy again and not really feeling like I'm pushing hard). Mile 11 6:29 ( All flat. Had to watch for traffic which slowed me down. I felt like I was going in slow motion. This area is hard to do a tempo with a lot of traffic.) Mile 12 6:03 (All flat. Was able to pick it up a bit after the traffic. Again the effort felt like nothing. Don't you love days like this when runs feel so easy, especailly after the 14 yesterday.
