Detroit Marathon Training - Week 8 - Run #1

Got an early start on this week since I missed the long run last week, and I'm also going to be unable to run over the coming holiday weekend. Headed downstairs to the gym after work and hopped on the treadmill for a quick run. I started at a 7:53/mi pace, and increased 6-7 seconds per mile. Finished the 5 mile run in 38:05, which is an average pace of 7:37 per mile.

I felt pretty good afterwards, despite doing the whole run at a 1% incline (I've been cheating lately and only doing 1% for half the run before going flat). Legs feel fine, which is good because I plan to run again tomorrow.
