Another strong run

I came back very strong today despite this being my third consecutive day to run and Tuesday's run was a fairly speedy 9 miles. Though I started out expecting only an easy 5 miles, it was cool and I had a lot of energy in my legs. I just let it develop naturally and posted these splits:  9:38, 9:13, 9:00, 8:37, 8:23, 3:51 (8:11 pace). The overall pace, then, was 8:54, and this was done on a moderately hilly course. The encouraging part is that I can tell I'm building strength in my legs, because the hill climbs are noticeably easier now than they were two weeks ago (of course, it helps that it's much cooler).

I've registered for a half marathon on May 12, and will probably also register for the Hospital Hill half marathon, which is June 2. I'm also likely to sign up for the Kansas City Marathon, which is in October. There'll be a few other shorter runs in between. Hope I can stay healthy for all of them.
