What a difference a day makes

My legs felt dead and a little sore from last night's run. I went out tonight for what I was planning on being an easy run. I ended up doing 61 minutes on an out-and-back course, and negative split the run by over 3 minutes. The more I ran, the faster and lighter I felt. I was definitely throwing down some easy sub 8:00 miles. I've got a long way to go, but it sure felt good to have a run that felt effortless, especially the day after having a terrible, terrible run.
