Well, today was scheduled to be a bit of a recovery run and it was to some extent but as is usually the case we get progressively faster with each mile during the run and it ended up being a bit faster than recovery pace. Maybe my recovery pace is getting faster though because everything felt really good today and it was a pace I felt like I could have maintained for a long time. Tomorrow is another test for the injuries and the fitness. I will try a shorter tempo run of about 3 miles with the pace a bit slower than I have run tempos in the past. I am looking for the pace to be somewhere in the 7:15 range where in the past I have hit miles as fast as 6:50 for up to 6 miles. Hopefully it will turn out as good as yesterdays 800s. I was getting worried yesterday afternoon as it felt like I was starting to stiffen up in my hip and back area but this morning everything felt fine. Hopefully easing back into like this will not make it any worse.
Time: 50:53 8:29/mile
