Some days, it just clicks

Another really good day running. It was still a bit humid from today's rain, but coolish and calm otherwise. The legs felt good, and the pace was crisp right from the get-go. I stayed in my assigned HR zones, and set something of an unofficial pace record. According to Gmap Pedometer, my 3 mile loop is actually 3.14 miles (and who doesn't trust something that measures to the 1/10,000th of a mile), so doing it twice is over 6 1/4 miles. Although I don't run a timer, I did my run in under 54 minutes. That means my MAP is now under 9 min/mile. When I started this program 6 weeks ago, it was ~10 min/mile. It's always nice to have quantifiable improvement. I'd love to see mid 7s by marathon time. As has been commented, LSD FTW!

Run: 3 miles @ 145 bpm, 3 miles @ 150 bpm
