Notes
Went out today hoping to keep it nice and slow, since my legs have been a little stiff and sore for the past few days. After the first two miles, decided to screw it, and ran the 3rd mile at close to MAF ( averaging 142 ) and was SHOCKED to see my mile split time to be 11:59!!! This is over a minute faster than my fastest mile so far at MAF, which I believe was somewhere around 13:00. That's why this run gets 8 stars for quality.
I have to admit though that the 12 minute pace felt a little fast, and that I was slightly uncomfortable keeping the pace. Felt harder than usual, and for good reason, it was much faster. My sore legs might have had something to do with that also. I think a couple of days off are in order, as my long run is coming up next!
