Comments: After slacking last week, I wanted to get off to a strong start today and finish March on a high note. I considered an early run but decided to hold off for a noon effort since the weather looked ideal.
It was slightly warm but that didn't stop me cranking out a super fast effort. My overall average pace was a solid 20 seconds faster than my best effort to date. As one might expect, my heart rate was in Zone 5 a good bit over the course of the workout but less than half of the effort.
Most important, I felt pretty good the whole way. No inordinate fatigue. So the next plan is a rest day.
