Notes
I did 10 miles at mpace.
The idea is that I would be fine in the 7'05"-7'10" range. But perhaps it was the weather. But I ran comfortable up until the last 1.5 miles when I had to focus. I finished coming up the hill by major road. Route this am was Bolanz-RV-Indigo-Oak to Ira-RV to Bath-AP to Bolanz-then Bolanz to RV finishing by Major Rd.
I reminded myself to stay relaxed and went with the flow. All miles between 3-10 were under 7'. I did take a gu at mile 7 even though I could have probably powered through. Better safe than sorry.
Splits:
1) 7'04"
2) 7'06"
3) 6'51"
4) 6'57"
5) 6'58"
6) 6'46"
7) 6'54"
8) 6'52"
9) 6'55"
10) 6'55"
much better than a couple weeks ago. Now I need the t-pace to start lining up.
