Feeling Good

Today I really felt good on my 6 mile run. I went the reverse of the route I took last time. I went from home to Andersonville, then to Edgewater, then home. It was sunny and in the low 70s. Actually it was very pleasant out there. People were out and about. Plenty of "Good mornings" out there. That always makes the run a bit nicer.

I knew I was on a faster than normal pace, but it never seemed like I was pushing anything. It all felt nice and easy today. My first half was in 36:30. My second half was 35:08, so I was running negative splits today. Rare, but pleased with myself. I just can't believe how easy it all felt. The only time I struggled a bit was at mile 4.5. I just fatigued for a moment, but at a stop light I stretched a bit, then ran once the light turned green, and I felt fine.

I was thinking ahead. My next few weeks are an increase in long run miles - 11, 12, 13. Overall I am pleased with how the running is going. Who knows...I may even enjoy the half marathon in August.
