I went out for a nice easy 5 miler in the afternoon's heat today and would have been happy to just get out and back at my easy pace of 9 or 10 m/m. When I hit the turn at 4 miles, though, I checked with the various systems, and they all said "GO!" Everything just felt so loose and fluid and I just went with it. Even my feet seemed to find a new level of relaxation and I nearly stopped thinking about anything but how fine it felt to just run. I would have been perfectly content with a quarter or half mile of it, but all systems just said to keep on. So my pace for the first 4 miles was 9:15's or so and the last mile was about 7:10. Go figure.
I think maybe my bod was psyched because I'd promised to dump it in the Schuylkill River after running, which I did, but who can say?
Good running everybody!
