What a beautiful, beautiful day for a 10-miler. Our half of the group did fantastic, keeping on pace almost perfectly. (The other half once more came back in pieces. Hmmm.) Today was also a big turning point for me, because when I ran the Cherry Blossom 10-miler back in April my average pace was 10:54min/mile. Essentially, 10 miles is the furthest I’ve gone at this pace. Next week takes me into new territory, and based on how I felt today… bring it on, bring it on! Fantastic.
