PM - completely unplanned tempo effort 10 miles with Finn on the Forsyth Greenway trail.  Temps in the mid-40's with very little wind; I started off the run not realizing that my pace was already under eight minutes per mile at mile 2 and then was surprised to notice that I was running seven minute pace when I made the turn around. I increased the pace slightly to just around 6:50 per mile and finished  the last mile at 6:38 for an avg of 7:05 pace for the full run.  This was just one of those days where things just felt very good and I decided to take advantage of it.
