Watch died after 8 miles @ 8:03 ap ... probably averaged 8 for whole run, just ran comfortable pace & wanted to get 12+ in, it was sunny & 58 out!

8:47, 8:25, 8:07, 8:00, 7:48, 7:57, 7:44, 7:40 ... last 4.5 probably around 8:00 pace.

Since I knew my watch would die, I clocked a new loop around park at 3.7 miles & and ran it twice more just after hitting 5 on watch ... so at least I would have an accurate distance.

Legs were feeling good today & with storms rolling in, I figured it was a good time to get some faster miles in.  Plan was mile warmup, 4 faster, mile cooldown.  Well, today was one of those days where my watch died 100 yards into the run, so I jogged back to car, started stop watch on phone & took off to do what I know is a measured 5 miles from where I park.

 Goal was to run comfortably fast, but to be honest, this was probably close to 10k pace, with enough left in tank to pick it up a little for another 1.2 if I was running one.  It was nice actually not having the watch & stressing about my pace ... but knowing seconds were ticking away until I got back to the car.  Wasn't quite sure what pace I would run, but was hoping around 7's or a little under.  With old school calculations, I came up with 7:12.

Honestly, I think I would be afraid to toe the line of a 10k right now, or any distance for that matter, just not where I want to be ... but thats ok ... I know I am way ahead of where I was 6 weeks ago & weighing in 10 pounds lighter.  Felt good to put down some faster miles, even if I would not have called them that a year ago.

Obviously, I ditched the warmup & cooldown miles ... oh well.
