Started out just thinking of doing a 6 miler, but then after a bio break I headed out for a few more... I wanted to keep a steady pace, and I didn't want to just lumber along so I tried to stay focused on my pace and my form, my splits went as follows; 8:42 (141), 8:36(151), 8:50(148), 9:35(136), 8:35(152), 8:40(155),8:53(143),8:44(146)... I felt pretty good through the whole run, the fourth mile was alittle tough and I don't know why, but I readjusted my thinking and I speed up my pace and I was able to get my head back on right... My average pace was 8:50, total time was 1:11:12 and my average heart rate was 146, still to high. Not real fast but I felt like I could of kept going at that pace for awhile,  I cut it at 8 miles because I didn't want to over do it. My legs are a little tired as I am writing this but that is to be expected because of the extra mileage today, and that is about it so I guess I will see on Monday...
