I thought I would be able to run close to or as fast or faster than last week, but by 2.5 I was over a minute slower...I finally got going at 6 miles and ran the last 4 miles under 10 minute pace which based on what I had done already did not seem possible. So this was a fast if not slow a fast 'average' run...I think this is the 3rd fastest of 7 straight. I was actually 'less depressed' going out as I'm feeling stronger but still psyched out until I get past 3.5 to 4 miles...to halfway...somewhere in there I'll settle into a good pace and run on in usually speeding up some gradually from around 4.

Ran the last 5 at almost exactly 10 min/average pace. Last 4 miles was about 29:30 or about 30 seconds faster than last weeks last 4 miles even though I ran over 2 minutes faster for the run. Stopped to tie right shoe at 1/2M and then at 3.6 and 5.6 to stretch calves...(no wall stuff just touch and hold raised toes).
