5 miles this morning before work. This morning my knees were a little stiff and sore but I stuck with the plan to run 2 warm up miles stretch a bit then hit 1 mile hard and finish back home with 2 miles. The 1 mile hard felt pretty darn good in both the legs and breathing. I ended up putting down a 6:11 mile comfortably. If I wasn't running a half marathon this weekend I probably would have taken a 2-3 minute rest then hit another hard mile. Overall average pace for the run was 7:11.
