8.25 mi, 1:05:38, 7:57 avg
Ran in Starkey park but started kind of late because it was a nice morning and I wasn't meeting anyone. Goal was 8 miles, 3 easy and then the remain 5 under 8:00.
Run turned into a nice progression run, with first three warmup miles at 10:25, 8:57, and 8:24
Then picked it up, at first the pace felt harder but I'd speed up and it didn't feel much harder. Last 5 miles were: 7:39, 7:22, 7:15, 6:50, 6:36
Marine Corps marathon is next week. I've been doing most of my runs a lot slower except for the one or two faster ones where I can still go as fast as I need to.
The real test will be to see what happens to me at about mile 17-19 where I've lately been slowing down.
