Usual Saturday. I was a little stiff on the first few miles but then my legs seemed to loosen up and they responded really good for a change. I was stronger toward the end and I felt like I could have ran more. My average pace was 8:43 with a total time of 2:03:48, it was a good way to end the week with a really nice run with a lot of positives.

See you  Monday.
