had a really good run tonight for some reason, just kept accelerating as the run went on, i felt strong so i went for it, finished hard. not as cold, pretty good night. splits:

1- 6:49.6

2-3--14:03, 7:01 avg

4- 6:39.6

5- 6:48.2

6- 6:32.2

7- 6:35.8

8- 6:30.7

total-- 53:59, 6:45 avg pace

last 5 were 33:06, 6:37 pace, although my "threshold miles" were about 30 seconds slower than GHMP, they were good given the perceived effort and the tired legs

last 3 miles 19:37, 6:32 pace

7 tonight on the mill, tried to add some speed, and did so. started at 7:17, then to 6:51, then same, then dropped to 6:00, then hit a 5:38, took a little break as the treadmill pooped out on me, then cooled down with a 7:29 and a 6:51.

overall, good workout, had a lot of pop left in my legs afterwards and even at the end, definitely a good sign..if it wasnt 80ish degress in the gym, id of been able to hold the pace longer.

long run  on the dreadmill today, 16 miles, decided to hit the normal LR pace of 7:16-7:20 for the first 12 then dropped it into 6:51 pace for the last 4 miles. The only thing that broke my rythym was accidently hitting the emergency stop button about 14.25 miles in, my arm hits that thing 8-10 times a run and it usually isnt hard enough to shut it off..but today i got it just right and wabamm..quick stop...i restarted it quickly and finished strong but the mental aspect of the sudden break was not cool! some split info:

1:55:35 for the full 16 miles, 7:13 avg pace for the total

1:28:09, 7:21 avg pace for the first 12

27:26, 6:51.5 avg for the final 4 miles, a nice little finishing kick
