I felt really good today so I decided to push it.  My goal was to do 3 miles under eight minutes and with one of those under seven minutes. My splits went as follows; 8:10, 6:57, 8:39 (very steep hill) 7:13, 8:11, 7:17, 7:57.  My total time for the seven miles was a new personal best, 54:29 with an avereage pace of 7:47 which is about ten seconds off my marathon goal pace. My average HR was 1:53 with a max of 166,  I will do a recovery run tomorrow and then I hope to do another tempo workout later in the week with some hill work. I am really happy with today's run my goal is to get my splits so they are all below eight minutes sometime in the future, I am slowly working towards that.

 

See ya tomorrow.
