Notes
A nice, relaxing Christmas run turned impromptu progression run. I'm gonna chalk this one up to some combination of being overly excited because of the holiday, annoyed that I couldn't finish yesterday's LR more uptempo due to the slush, and being late for dinner with my grandparents.
Started off the first few miles feeling great. Felt effortless and I was just on cruise control. I would have been more than happy just hovering aroun 6:30 the whole run. Then I sped up a bit during mile 4, and I was off. Progressed pretty naturally and really didn't strain until the last half mile or so. Looking back at the splits, I'm happy with this effort, especially with the hills and wind from the East that was pretty strong. Jogged easy for about 2 min afterwards as a make shift cool down.
Unfortunately, upon returning to my house, my grandparents had already arrived at my house, so in spite of the hard effort, I was still late. Still took time to roll out. Will take tomorrow a bit easier.
