finally a good weekend

Yesterday was this race but, more importantly, I got up at 6am today, had some coffee, and then ran 15 miles in 1:44 flat. It felt soo easy. The 22:16 four miler was really only 3.9 so I'm calling it a 22:50. On the other hand, the course has three decent hills so I'm guessing I could have been around 22:40 on a flat, accurate course.

That's nowhere near peak condition but I'm happy with the progress. VERY pleased with the 15 this morning -- the first few miles were 7:15 - 7:20, then I did a bunch of 7:00s, mixed in a couple 6:30s, backed off a little, and did the last mile in an even 6:00. No discomfort, no tightness in the right lower calf, all good.
