Was thinking anywhere between 12-20 today...actually to clarify, when i first woke up, i was like...im talking today off, my legs say stop..but after some coffee, i felt better and it was cooler and rainy (my favorite running conditions) so i decided to get out and hammer some miles. I had some crazy zen late in the run and hit 5 or 6 mile splits in a row all at the same exact pace...pretty creepy but cool! here are the splits:

1- 7:01.3

2- 7:06.1

3- 7:11.7

4- 7:08.8

5- 7:14.2

6- 7:10.8

7- 7:15.6 turn around

8- 7:02.8 after this, pretty flat to decline, a reversal of the uphill first 7

9- 6:51.0

10- 6:50.5

11- 6:50.0

12- 6:50.5

13- 6:48.2 (I was so close to 6:50 on this mile to be officially amazed at that steady pace...i was just in a zone)

14- 6:49.4, creepy streak of 6 miles...all almost identical, finished the out and back, then put 2 more down

15- 6:55.1

16- 6:51.1 (had to end it with a mile that was creepily close in splits to the previous 8 except for #15)

total-- 1:51:57, Just an absolute smidge under 7:00 mile pace. I turned around at about 7:09 pace, but then i dropped it into that steady pace, pretty cool run overall...my legs are now shot and I will indulge in some easter chocolate to recover...as well as take tomorrow off. 5k + 10k double this weekend...focus on the 5k for obvious reasons
