Day # 23: 4.8 Miles & Feeling Good

Going into my 10K this Saturday, I wanted to get out and run a bit longer than the scheduled 4 miles today. I picked a route starting at my house and going through Lexington before coming back, which was exactly 4.8 miles. The route worked out well as it was very shady and not too trafficky. The best part about the run tonight was how I felt. I started with a slight twinge behind the back of my left knee, but about 1 mile into the run I was feeling fine and running comfortably. I'd say I slowed down a bit between miles 3-4, but finished the last 8 tenths very hard. I finished the run in 36:51, which makes it about a 7:35 pace, very comfortable and faster than race pace.
