Three days in a row

I came back very strong today despite this being my third consecutive day to run. Though I started out expecting only an easy 5 miles, it was cool and I had a lot of energy in my legs. I just let it develop naturally and posted these splits:  9:38, 9:13, 9:00, 8:37, 8:23, 3:51 (8:11 pace). The overall pace, then, was 8:54 for 5:47 miles. The encouraging part is that I can tell I'm building strength in my legs, because the hill climbs are noticeably easier now than they were two weeks ago (of course, it helps that it's much cooler). - Rob
