5/4/11 (Wednesday) Run

Today I ran 7 miles in 48:53.  I did the same run as Monday but was not able to sustain the 9.0 mph like I wanted.  At the 4 mile mark I increased it to 9.0 mph but was only to hold it for 8 minutes.  Could I have held it for another minute or two?  Yes, but then I did not know if I would be able to increase it again after slowing it down a bit.  So I slowed it to 8.3 for 5 minutes then increased it to 8.6 mph.  I began increasing it by .1 mph every minute thereafter until I finished my run. Not as fast as I wanted, but after a good run yesterday and the bike ride last night, to still keep it under 49 minutes I am happy with.
