Getting the legs back

Last nights effort was suppose to be 10 miles at a comfortable pace.  Comfortable was suppose to be 7:15 to 7:30.  Well, as usually I took it out a little bit faster.  I ran the 1.1 mile loop in my neighborhood and overall, I felt really good.  The legs responded well to the faster miles, but I did get a little tired around mile 6.  Knowing that I was taking Wednesday off I decided to push it a bit for miles 8 and 9.  The splits were:

6:53, 6:48, 6:50, 6:47, 6:47, 6:47, 6:45, 6:36, 6:13 and 7:16.  The last mile seemed like I was walking, which I guess at this stage is a good thing.

Today is a recovery day and then I'm back at it on Thursday
