Run: 5.7 miles in 46:47 min. @ 5:10 am

Weather: Clear, 55°F, 87% Humidity, Wind: WSW @ 3 mph; feels like 55°F.
Route: Culver-Highland-Clover-Elmwood-Monroe Loop
Pace: 8:12 min/mile
Effort: 4 of 5
How did I feel? Good.


Taking a significant jump in mileage this morning, while maintaining relatively the same pace (in the 8:20 per mile range) felt pretty great! The temperature (55°F) was perfectly conducive to gutting out a (for me at this stage of my current training) long-ish run, and one that , upon completion, actually felt very good! It's got me thinking maybe I can do a little more this weekend by selecting one of the two days as an even longer, more slowly paced run...
