Well...strange run for me today.  Just came off of a 20-miler yesterday which was a beast and along with the humidity completely wiped me out.  Today I thought I'd just do a nice 10 mile run at a recovery pace.  As I started out, I felt really good (no humidity, perfect temperature).  My first mile came in right about 8 minutes, so I thought I might just step it up to marathon goal pace for a couple of miles as long as I felt so good.  Well, the couple of miles stretched into 12...felt absolutely great!  No rhyme, no reason.  Came in at 1:29:33 for a 7:28 pace over 12 miles.  Great start to the week...will definitely do recovery pace tomorrow. 

Hope to step up the miles this week...maybe 80?

Very nice run! Way to take advantage of a good day. Very hard to figure how one day can be bad and the next great but good job of listening to your body. Good luck on the high mileage week.

Wow, awesome run! Keep it up and hit that mileage target this week (you have been increasing nicely).

Thanks...yesterday thought I might have hit a plateau, but maybe I've turned a corner.
