Final evening run along the Wisla tonight. Only 6 days of training into this new cycle and so I didn't know what to expect - especially after a full 2 weeks off running and eating pretty horribly. My goal was to maintain a good tempo and hopefully be in the 18:30 (6:00) range. Lot of people showed up tonight which was really awesome. It was super hot all day and even at the 8pm start, it was probably mid-80s, thankfully the sun had dipped down. Got out first mile in 5:46, was amazed at how smooth it felt despite the breathing not feeling as easy. hit the turnaround in 8:5X, was all alone at this point in front, so I knew I'd have to maintain a lot of focus to keep running hard on my own. 2nd mile was 5:34 (11:20, 5:40 pace). last mile I started to feel the lack of overall fitness of this new cycle, but I still cruised home in  5:43 + 36 seconds roughly for the last .11 for a total of 17:39. By far the best shape I've ever started a training cycle in and assuming I can slow down enough on my easy days, I should be in for a really fast half this fall! Looking forward to it!
