5.1mi, 41:23

Eric Idle, "FCC Song"
Jane Wiedlin, "One Hundred Years of Solitude"

WX at 0700: 46 (8), DP 46 (8), BP 30.2 (1022), winds SSW 2, fog, RH 100%

Odometer 2: 217mi

Z3 steady with some increased work uphill.
Resting heart rate before start = 60.

I wasn't planning on going hard this morning. It was with some surprise that I ended up running markedly faster than I felt like I was going. Today also marked continuously negative splits through the run - which is good for a longer run. Racing longer races (10 miles, typically) I normally start slow so I can pick up some momentum passing other runners near the end of a race after they start to fade.

Today was supposed to be a recovery run and felt like it, but the splits don't really connote recovery. The litmus test will happen tomorrow on a hard run.

Splits
1.5 12:23 12:23 08:15
2.1 29:23 17:00 08:06
1.5 41:23 12:00 08:00 08:02
