I started out my run as a nice easy recovery run this morning.  My legs were tired, but felt pretty good considering yesterday's long run.  I am speaking in church this Sunday and I was going over my talk and making final revisions in my head.  I got caught up in my thoughts and feelings and it looks like my recovery run turned into a progression run on accident.  I wasn't monitoring my speed, but when my watch beeped at mile 8, I had lost track of my miles so I looked down to see what mile I was on and saw that I had run the 8th mile in 7:07.  I pulled back at that point.  When I was done I looked at my splits.  My first mile was 9:54 and my 8th was 7:07 with every mile getting faster than the previous.  Miles 9 and 10 were around 7:30.  

AP ended up being 8:10

At this Christmas time, I want to testify of my knowledge through the Spirit of the divinity of Jesus Christ.  I hope we can all try and remember Him always.

Dale, I do my best thinking when I run. If I have something on my mind, I head out for a good long run and usually have things figured out by the time I get back.

Yes I'll run tomorrow, at least 10.

THANKS for sharing your testimony of the divinity of Christ! Wish I could hear you talk this Sunday. My choir is performing 3 Christmas numbers on Sunday!

LOVE your *thoughtful* run that turns into a nice progressive run. My best runs are the ones where the spirit takes over! Another reason why I don't wear iPod :)
