I have to say, it's an odd feeling getting to the end of my Thursday run and still feeling fresh.
This morning's run was an easy 5. It was pretty cold when I
started out, so it took me a bit to hit my rhythm. But once I did, I
settled into a real comfortable pace that would actually be pretty fast
on race day. But I was nowhere near VO2 max, and my legs had plenty in
them. The course was nothing remarkable, though there were a bunch of
fishers out this morning.

The strangest thing about it is that I had two beers last
night and woke up a little hung over. (It's kind of amazing that two
beers can do that to me.). I figured it would be a slog -- I even
contemplated skipping it. So that I ran 9:00s without any big effort was
a major surprise. Another example of what should be hard turning out
easy, I guess.
I'm really curious to see how I feel at this point next week, when the total mileage is way down.
Total miles since starting the blog: 583.4
