It may be a little bit cooler this morning than the last 2 days but I also wanted to treat todays run as a recovery so I kept the pace a bit slower which may have had something to do with it.  I thought an 8:00 pace sounded like a good goal when I went to bed last night so I even set my alarm 10 minutes earlier to compensate for the 1 min/mile slower pace.  The cooler temps and a nice breeze off of the golf course made it feel good and I ended up with a faster average pace but it felt good so just went with it.   Did 2 1/2 mile pickups at about 5:50 pace on the final lap just for the heck of it. 

I'm really happy with my decision to change my running schedule during this conference, last year I was going to bed at 11:00 and waking up at 3:00 trying to get my long runs in and it just tore me apart.  I'm actually feeling very good right now, minor aches and pains in my left leg but all and all I feel really good.  I'm not really feeling over worked at all, I probably wont be in as good of cardio shape as I was last year at this time but at least I'm not limping around like an 85 year old lady.
