Notes
Very good run. Steady & relaxed warm up mile. Picked it up to "half marathon effort" at the start of mile 2 & quickly fell into a nice running rhythm. Run got interrupted early in mile 2 by traffic at a cross street & when I resumed it took me a little while to get back to half marathon effort, but by the end of mile 2 I had regained a nice flow. Mile 3 was solid & pace picked up naturally and without any real increase in effort. However, I did pick up the effort a notch for the final mile of the tempo section. That said, I still was really surprised at how fast I ran that last tempo mile as it didn't feel like I was pushing the pace that much while running it. Cool down mile was a very relaxed, easy effort and again much faster than I seemed to me while running it. Completed the full set of exercise routines after the run.
