8 miles in 55:07. Did the first 4 in 27:58 and the last 4 in 27:09. Was a nice and easy run. My legs felt a bit heavy from my 13 on Saturday. That was the longest run I have done in 2 years and, other then feeling heavy, my body seems to be taking the increased mileage really well. I am really excited to see how my workout goes next wed. I will be doing 5x 800 with 400m job in between each one. I am supposed to be at a 2:43 pace but I am hoping to do them at a 2:33 average pace, especially since my other workouts have been going so well. About 2.5 years ago I could do 4x800 with 2 min rest at about 2:11. Obviously I was in better shape and I was training for the 800/1600, which is a lot different from what I am training for now.
