Comments: Since I did a pretty grueling long run yesterday and have another regular run slated for tomorrow, the plan was to keep this a recovery run. And, for the most part, I did that. The goal was sub 10 minute mile average pace but I cleared that with ease.
Still, it didn't really feel easy. I was sluggish getting started and never totally shook it. Which seemed a little weird when I finally checked my watch and I was hitting my target pace. Again, the headwind on the first half sucked completely but gave me a slight boost on the final two miles.
