Sub 1:30 Half Marathon Training Run (Tuesday 3/13)

Plan: Sub130
Date: Tuesday 3/13
Planned Distance/Pace: 8.0 / 8:00
Actual Distance/Pace: 8.0 / 7:30

Today's training running called for a 8 mile run at an 8:00 pace. This was my first run over 4.5 since my Marathon 9 days ago. I was excited to get out there for a longer run. Mile first my felt great and gave me 43 seconds in the bank. The next 3 miles all gave me around 15 seconds each. I had negative splits from that point on. I finished mile 6 needing to average 7:15 miles the last 2 to get 8 done in less than an hour. This became my goal after about mile 4. My mile 7 was against the wind and but was still able to get it at 7:29. My final mile was my fastest at 6:44.  I ended up finishing the 8 in 59:50 which was a 7:29 place. :31 seconds below my goal per mile.
