The 12 miles of Christmas
I was prepared for a day off so when I got the green light for a run I was out the door before you could say "Hey, I like those new shoes!"
Tuesday is a hard day and the weather couldn't have been better with temps at 40F, dry pavement, and a wind out of the west (which means a tailwind during the last half). I wore shorts, ball cap, gloves, and brand new Saucony Fastwitch running shoes.
It was just about noon when I got out there and I was feeling good from the start. I always start at a crawl but I knew things were going to go my way when I was feeling easy and strong as I approached the first mile marker. By mile three I was pretty much in the groove and paying close attention to my form up and down the hills and, most importantly, against a steady west wind.
At mile 6 I turned and burned it back home feeling very, very good.
12 miles @ ~ 6:43 pace. 154 HR.
