A run for sale

Total: 8 miles in 58:51 or 7:21 pace
Details: Easy 3 followed by 2 at MP (6:25 and 6:41) followed by easy 3.

This was a run I wish I could bottle (and sell?). Everything about it felt good. The weather, my heart/lungs, my legs, my mind. I guess the taper is working because I think all the miles felt like they should. The easy miles were just that: easy and warm-up like. And the MP miles required a little more effort, but they didn't really tax me any and left me feeling energized and confident. It was good knowing that even when I was trying to really hold back the second MP mile (since I didn't hold back enough on the first mile), I was still able to hit 6:41, just 1 second more than the pace I'll try to hold on Sunday.
