Notes
I was really dreading the 3 build up miles, just did not feel overly great in the prior miles. Not horrible or anything, but not especially energetic and so was not looking forward to picking up the pace. I kept telling myself to not be a baby, that i had run that pace late in a marathon. And it ended up being just fine. I really did not intend on running that fast for the last of the 3 miles -- I was thinking more around 8:30-40ish, depending on how I felt. But one of the people I was running with decided to do the workout with me, and he took off like a shot for the last mile so i just did my best to keep up. Glad the weather was not hot!
