The other shoe?

Saturday, 8.2 miles in 1:02
Tuesday, 5.8 miles in :44

For the last 10 days, all of my runs have gone at an easily brisk pace, in the mid-7 minute rhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifange, that for me indicates either high fitness or, in the current case, too many rest days. That being the case, I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, and I felt like today was the day. I felt like I was dragging at the beginning and end of the run, although I did manage to achieve a Zen like state in the middle, causing me to miss my usual turn from Hopkins to Gilman. It turns out that the run went a little bit farther, and a little bit faster, than I had thought. I know that things will slow down soon, but it should hopefully be due to extra mileage.
