Beautiful weather today- low 50's.  Jogged down to the track at about an 8:45 pace...felt rather sluggish.  Decided to run the first mile on the track without looking at my watch...wanted to see how close I could get to mp (6:53) by feel.  Mile was fairly effortless (despite feeling sluggish), yet hard to judge by about a 15mph wind...did it in 7 minutes flat.  Speed up the second mile with the thought of a 3-mile tempo run...again wanted to run by feel.  Part way through decided if I came in between 6 and 6:10, I'd finish the tempo...did it in 6:20.  Felt as though I should save the tempo run for tomorrow when my legs might be a little more fresh.  Decided to run a third mile by feel to see if I could nail the mp pace...finished it in 6:50 flat- pretty darn close!  Again, the wind was making it tough to judge, but I'm starting to grasp a better feel for pacing.  Jogged a mile slowly and then picked up the pace to a 7:30-40ish range on the final 2 miles home.  Total of 9 miles.

Weight:  182 lbs.

rest.  Feel a good kind of sore after a solid weekend of running.  No physical activity today whatsoever.
