Notes
Was right on target for 1st half of planned run with one mile warm up and next 2.5 miles in low 10s. Easily picked up the pace as soon as I started back. The mile 5 pace of 9:18 seemed a little fast so I dialed pace back in first half of mile 6 to about 9:37 then surged a couple of times nicely in the second half of the mile to finish at 9:29. Felt some discomfort in mile 7, but ignored that message from my brain and pushed pace to just under 9:16, the fastest of the run. Last 3 miles were not a text book progressive run, but I felt really postive about being able to maintain the speed and to surge when it was needed. Tired but not spent at the end of this run.
