Every run labeled "easy" leading up to tonight's run has not felt that easy. I think my body is actually getting stronger and that is why this run felt a lot easier.
So tonight the goal pace was 10:00. Here's what I did:

I didn't get a chance to post about my Saturday 10 mile run, so I figured I would just give a quick review of it today.
My hip had bothered me all week, my running partner for my Saturday runs has a knee injury, and I had a bad week of running leading up to Saturday morning. All those things made for a very unmotivated Brandy early Saturday morning. I ended up lacing up my shoes and hitting the pavement after 40 extra minutes of debating why I didn't want to run.
After a mile or two I was happy with my decision to run and not go back to bed! It was a great run!
Goal pace was: 10:25

When I got home and reviewed my splits I was amazed at how consistent I paced! This is huge for me because usually I go really fast for a mile or two and then really slow and then really fast... you get the picture right?
