I really didn't feel very motivated to get out today so I told my coach (me) that I'd switch the MP to today and do my tempo on Thursday.  My coach said ok and I took my MP route from the last 2 weeks.  I felt pretty good actually, as I seem to when I feel unmotivated. I went faster than MP by around 10 sec/ mile.  My legs don't feel too bad right now.

Sounds like you and your coach have a good working relationship. Way to listen to your body. What pace was MP - 10? I'm sure it was about my tempo pace. Nice run.

it was 6:11 ave. pace I'm not sure 6:20 is realistic, but that's what my Mcmillan predictor tells me is possible after my 10miler last month...
