Legs felt a little heavy the first couple of miles, then things started to loosen up a bit.  Did a couple of 200 meter strides during the 4th mile and then decided to pick it up to a compfortably hard pace for the last mile.  Decided not to track my pace on the Garmin and just run at a pace that felt hard but sustainable for a few miles.  It ended up being a 7:06 mile.  I guess that is about where I figured my fitness would be about now based on my lack of training.  I'm glad I still have a couple months to SGM to do something about it.

Nice job man. You got to feel good about being able to pick it up later in the run after feeling heavy at the first.

That couple of months to SGM seems to be coming quickly.

Good run. I think you are definitely headed in the right direction.

Huans...It does feel good but it needs to feel better.

Dave....Way too quickly.

Tom....I hope you're right. Just keep the injury bug away please.

That is a great pace though man for your run. I am really looking forward to running with you again at SGM.
