Time: 1:27:05
Average: 8:37
Run type: Tempo
Location: English Landing
Weather: 80, clear, breezy.
Aches: None.

Session Comments: I had a headache all day, but it went away almost as soon as I started running and hasn't come back. Although my pace was kind of fast, I really took it easy and never felt like I was pushing it. The favorable weather makes that possible. I love runs like this, because you come away from them feeling like you're in great shape. This week, and for the next 6 weeks or so, the training moves up a notch. I have two runs of 10, two of 5 and one of 20 this week, so the miles will really start piling up.
