Lunch Break Run

So I decided this afternoon at lunch to go get a 4 mile run in. I love days like today. This morning I reluctantly got out of bed to go to spin class and ended up feeling great during the class. Maybe even the best that I have felt at a spin class. Then during my run this afternoon, that I was only going to do 4 miles during, I ended up doing 7 miles.

My goal today was not to break any records, but to simply "feel" my pace. I like to try this from time to time. I will run a pace that feels good to me without looking at my Garmin until it beeps at me. That's when I look down to see what the mile was. All I can say is that today blew my mind, I must have been feeling really good! Here is what my run was.....

7 miles on the Longleaf Trace starting at Jackson Rd.

Total Time: 59:46

Avg. Pace 8:32

Mile 1: 9:00

Mile 2: 8:30

Mile 3: 8:30

Mile 4: 8:28

Mile 5: 8:24

Mile 6: 8:26

Mile 7: 8:25

I wish I could hold that pace for 26.2 miles
