run run run

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been trying to pick up the speed on some of the medium runs. Today I went out and was hoping to get done before the rain and I accomplished that. I didn't feel like I was running "that" hard, but when I was done I had run 6 miles in 45:39 (7:36/mile according to Mr. Garmin). That's pretty fast for me. I was pleased to say the least. I felt good afterwards and didn't feel like I pushed myself to hard. I've only gone that fast several times during some shorter 3 mile runs and once during a Duathlon (the first 5K of the Apple Duathlon in 2008), so it appears that my endurance is getting better. Depending on the weather, I will try and do an easy 5 miles and rest on Friday for my 16 miler this weekend.
