Today started out absolutely horrible.  We started out with 1.5 miles up hill and into the wind.  My legs felt trashed still and my heart was racing the entire time and I could not get into a rhythm.  When we turned to go slightly downhill with the cross wind I just wanted it over with,  so I pick up the pace.  As I got going I decided to turn it into a 3 mile temp run to help speed it up.

 Mile 1 8:15 - 8:20 approx.  Felt really good

Mile 2 approx 8:00  started actually enjoying today's run

Mile 3 approx 7:35 Felt great but I have no idea how I sustained this during a 5K or 10K

Ran home at a pretty easy pace. It was nice to see the splits drop as I progressed but I know I should have pushed harder during mile 1. 

Ave Pace 8:48 (the first1.5 was insanely slow)

Happy Running!

It is amazing how your body can just pick it up in a race. I am the same way, it feels so hard on an avg day but then race adrenaline kicks in and you can run so much faster. Great run today!

You know you're a real runner when you decide to work harder to get the run over with. Great job and great pace!
