Notes
Another miraculous morning where it was unexpectedly overcast for my run (well the sun came out the last 2 or so miles, but that just made me appreciate what I had gotten).
My route looked more like my recent bike routes. Out nearly 8 miles on gravel, then the return trip on the bike path. Since the bike path is at a diagonal, the return trip was only about 6 miles. A bit shorter than I anticipated but that just meant I'd be adding on and seeing more people in town (loads of bikers today).
I also ramped up the pace as I hit the hard surface. And though I didn't even drop below a 7min mile until the 12th mile, it was with 4 <6:40's before finishing with a <6:10 and <6. It didn't feel easy but it didn't feel hard either. I maybe should reevaluate the purpose of finishing hard though, is it for fitness or just to boost my ego?
