10/11/06: The Most Perfect Run Ever?!

And I’m not complaining at all! It was just one of ‘those runs…’ I set out simply to run 6 miles at Memorial Park at a nice moderate clip. I pulled an even 9:00 the first mile…and then 8:59 the next mile (not even looking at the watch), and then-the third time’s always a charm-an even 9:00! I knew my luck was too good to be true. (I guess I should have been gambling tonight or something!)

I knew I would have to put a little heat on the run to keep the second loop as even in splits as the first loop…and I did AND managed to stay relaxed. 8:58, 9:00, 9:02. Wow, it looks like I have found a good pace for me…I felt like I could have ran forever at this pace. Can I do it again on Saturday at the 10 Miler? Hopefully the weather wants to cooperate and it is cooler (although this race is notorious for 100% humidity and rain…)
