I'm very happy about this run.  Except for the first mile (9:12), every mile was well under 9 minutes.  Although this run wasn't what I would consider "easy," it felt good to do it.  By Carolyn's 8:30 and under as fast designation, only 3 of these miles (one mid run and the last two) would be considered fast.  Whole run averaged 8:38, which was actually faster than what I was shooting for. 

It was windy, but not nearly as windy as yesterday.  Wind was maybe 10 mph (at least according to the weather channel), but colder (in the 30s).

Really nice job! Everytime I run longer than usual, it adds a degree of difficulty for sure.

Awesome time and distance! You keep this training up and you will hit your under 1:45 goal for sure! Nice job.

Well under 9 sounds fast to me. You can bag the 8:30 standard if you want.

I love the 8:30 standard!
