Surprising, positive, 3 miles

October 5th,  Friday

On a 68° day at the track I ran 3 miles in 27:18.   I had taken a recovery day yesterday and was pleasantly surprised when I began running.  My legs were light and I had no soreness or pain.  I had also done a lengthy series of leg and hip exercises prior to starting. That seems to have been a major factor.  It was shocking to me as I glanced at my watch throughout the run to see a pace of 9:30 and ultimately below 9:00 along the way. I have not seen numbers like that in months during training. So I have to assume that my fitness level is better than I had believed it to be. This is a very good thing. I am encouraged and excited and motivated.

Steady stats.
