I Feel Good!!

I ran a training 5k today on one of my favorite routes. My plan was to move along at a quick, but comfortable pace. I was thinking perhaks 10:30 or so per mile. So I set out on this beautiful 68 degree morning with this simple plan: run at a quick, but comfortable pace.

I ran without my heartrate monitor. I just judged how I felt while concentrating on leg speed. Much to my surprise, I ran 3.1 miles at a 9:57 pace!! I'm thinking speedwork is paying some dividends. It certainly felt great to run that fast with minimal stress.

I feel good!!
