7 Miles

I did a 7 mile run this morning - more than half the total distance of the actual half marathon. It was a great day for a run:  low 60's, light breeze, no rain. I completed the run in 1 hour, 6 minutes, 37 seconds, an average pace of 9:27 per mile. I'm not sure I could keep up that pace for an entire half marathon, but I felt like I still had some energy left in the tank when I reached the 7 mile mark, so we'll see. Everything has been going fine with the training, though my short runs during the week have been pretty hit-or-miss with my work schedule. The real good thing is that I have not had any injuries even as I have increased my distance up to 7 miles. Let's hope it stays that way as I keep increasing my distance!
