Today I wanted to take advantage of the some what dry roads and try some quicker miles. I decided that I would try and run a half marathon distance and try and average a 7 min pace for the entire run including warm up and cool down miles. I kind of figured that a 7 min pace would be about 45 seconds slower than my half marathon pace? Several of my miles were under 7, I am going to list it as an easy run because my watch is charging and so I will post split's later. I really watched my pace the first half by looking at my watch, and the second half I really wanted to try and run off of feel. When I hit mile 12.9 I was at a 6:59 pace average, so I jogged up past my house for the last .2 I finished right at a 7:00 pace. I really could have used a GU and water at mile 8-9, but for most of the run I felt great. I hope to run everyday this week, and maybe even hit a 5k or 10k race this week? split's 7:30,7:07,7:17,6:49,6:55,6:54,6:48,6:40,6:48,6:53,7:06,6:53,7:13 .1 .50 seconds
