Today was the 8th day of running without a day off. Over the last 7 days I had put in a little over 59 miles. Which is much more than I have ever done. But even so the legs still feel good. But I still need to be careful in over doing it to fast too soon. Still ran today though. I decided it would be a shorter run. After the 1st mile for some reason I decided I would run the next 3 fast, and see what kind of pace I could hold. I guess this is a tempo run, but not sure the exact definition of a tempo. Recovered the last mile. On the 3 miles, splits were consistent with one another and just a little slower than my pace on my 10K last month. The last mile had 2 small hills which made the split slower, but I think the effort was about the same as the previous 2.
Tomorrow will be a rest day.
