After yesterday's long run at McAlpine I was looking for some recovery miles. I ran an easy eight miles this morning through Freedom Park ending at Run For Your Life. The splits for the first three miles were all over 7 minutes which told me that the legs were needing a day of recovery. However, when I came down past Queens University and through Freedom Park for the second time I felt a helluva lot better. I never pushed the pace, but started hitting low 6 min/mile. Again, the goal was just to recover today, but knowing that I could still rattle off 6:10 pace is encouraging.
