Nothing special today. I put in my 15 miles. Right now I believe I definitely have increased my fitness level in recent weeks. A couple of weeks ago I started running my easy runs in the mid 6 minute range once or twice a week and wondered whether I had an increased level of fitness. Well the results seem conclusive and I surmise that I'll probably be running most of my easy runs at 6:45 pace or lower. Today I ran 15 miles at 7 minute pace and there was absolutely no way I should be running at this pace in weeks past at this effort level (Given how tired my legs felt). But there I was doing it effortlessly. Okay I wouldn't say effortlessly, it was hot and humid and my legs were tired the last 3 miles. Here are the splits:

| Mile 3 | 6:59 |
| Mile 4 | 6:54 |

| Mile 6 | 6:49 |
| Mile 7 | 7:00 |

| Mile 9 | 6:43 |
| Mile 10 | 6:54 |
| Mile 11 | 6:49 |
| Mile 12 | 6:57 |
| Mile 13 | 7:03 |
