If only today were race day

I opted to sleep in this morning so I didn't run until 2:00. I headed out the door, ran a loop around my block and headed out to Pilgrim. My run today was basically a 13 mile out and back down Pilgrim road. I have to say I wish today was race day. I originally wanted to run a nice and easy 13 miles, but I looked down at my watch and I was covering the miles a little above 6:30. The pace felt comfortable and the breathing was right on. I almost felt like I was taking a stroll in the park. The legs were moving and everything was effortless. God I can only dream that next week is just like this. The first half of the run I covered the miles averaging 6:33. The second half was 6:27, so I averaged 6:30 for the 13 miles. Too fast for a taper, but damn comfortable.

Next week I'm running Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 5 miles each day and I promise nothing fast than 7:00 minute miles.

Here's too a week of recovery!
