6 miles in under 50 minutes!

Today was my fast run.  Was supposed to run it at an 8:45 pace.  But I felt good and just ran it as fast as I comfortably could.  It ended up being an 8:19 pace!  Splits were 8:34, 8:26, 8:33, 8:23, 8:13, 7:42.  I'm feeling ready for the speed intervals that are coming up in a few weeks!

Once again, I didn't look at my watch much today so when I finished and saw the time (49:53), I couldn't believe it.  Here is a happy runner right after the run.  Trying to show the watch in the picture.  :)

And you just couldn't believe how cool it was outside this morning.  Only 53 degrees!!  If you look close enough, you'll see the gloves I wore the first couple of miles.

And when I got back inside I had to laugh at how bundled up I was.  I may have gone overboard with the tights and long sleeves but I have gotten used to running when it was about 80 degrees so this was a big change for me.

Tomorrow is my hill day.  I think I may have to split it up into a morning run and hills in the afternoon again but that seemed to work ok last week.
