Comments: I wanted to do a full half hour but I pushed it pretty hard out the gate. I settled for 20 minutes at a very strong pace the whole way rather than sticking it out for another ten minutes just for the honor of the thing.
It was a pretty strong run, nonetheless. I am not sure of the time but I figure I was closer to the 7-minute-mile pace than the 8.
No real problems the whole way. Knee felt good, foot felt good, pace felt strong. Another reason I didn't push it is that tomorrow I will put in the full half-hour but I won't be as balls-to-the-wall about it.
