It's been an exceptionally fast week. My easy runs have been generally at a 9-9:15/mile pace, but this week it's been 8:35-8:45. I haven't been trying to go fast, and it hasn't felt like I'm going that fast, but there it is. Probably has a lot to do with the unseasonable cool temps; it's been in the low to mid 50s at dawn.

There's a 5k this weekend that I just might do after all, just to see if this speed is for real.
