Notes

Didn't sleep at all last night -- about 4 hours-- must have been a full moon. Great weather this AM ... almost cold with sunny skies. I have been dreaming about days like this with all the crappy humidity we have had.

I did 4 miles @ 8:29 average [increasing the pace from mile 1 to mile 4] pace then 2 miles at 14:28 [7:14] pace [which was probably a little quicker than I meant to run ... but it fealt good -- every time I was feeling that burn I looked down at the watch and said "just another 3/4 mile and you can slow down] ... then 1 mile cool down at 9:25 pace back home. Overall a really solid run. My right knee was in pain starting up [which is usual] ... and one of my toe nails nicked an adjacent toe so I had the surprise bloody sock -- no big deal. I am pleased with today [one of my better work-outs]... I feel like I have had some really quality runs over the past couple of weeks and mentally I have quite a bit more confidence in my ability to complete tougher exercises / distances. I am looking forward to 14-15 miles on Friday [new milestones.]
