Notes
Ran in downtown DC basically around the mall - fantastic run. Started slow but built speed every mile and my perceived effort actually got easier as I went further/faster. One week away from 1/2 marathon and i'm thinking my race pace should be 8:00 min/mile (I've been thinking 8:15s). I averaged 8:12 on this run, but had a lot of stops for busy intersections and I started really slow.... Intersting to note that my perceived effort was less later in the run, but my heart rate was certainly higher. Also, absolutley zero left foot pain while running (which isn't that unsusual), and zero pain now (one hour later). Walked alot yesterday in Adidas Sambas.
