Finished up Feb with a fast Friday pace run this morning. Goal was 3 miles at planned next half marathon pace (6:34) and 8 miles overall. Did a quick warmup mile and then started the fast stuff. Course was uphill for first mile and I did 6:47, then 6:31 (which included another hill but up and down), then 6:26. At this point I was feeling good and I'd run more up than down, so decided to keep going at pace for another 2-3 miles. Next 3 miles were 6:17, 6:22 and then 6:31 for mile 6 which was back on the flat. Overall 6 fast miles at 6:29 pace which is a better pace than my best ever 10k (6.2 miles). Things are looking good!
