First - this was my 6th day straight - so I finally made it to that mark.
Second - the weather was incredible! I had to run later (around noonish) today and that was good. The weather for the run had an avg temp of 47.3 (quite warm for this time of year), so I got to wear shorts & a shirt. I guess it was the combination of the two because I had an awesome run for this point in my training. I went 3 out and 3 back on a trail heading out to Washington (love this trail). Total time was 49:54 for an 8:18avg and split out as follows: 8:26, 8:16, 8:22, 8:23, 8:17 and 8:06. And I felt great during and still do after. This honestly felt like the pace I was doing last week for the 8M, but it was a good 1-1.5min faster per mile?? anyway, I'm not knocking a good thing - just wondering why it felt so good and I'm not hurting.
