Easy Tempo Run - 10.65K with last 2 miles at Half Marathon Pace

Because of the Springbank Half Marathon on Sunday, Coach John wanted us to just take it easy on our tempo run tonight. The goal was to go our easy on a 6 mile (total) run, and then turn it up to Half pace for the last 1.75 miles (at the tunnel). Here are my splits:

5:21
5:02
5:16
5:16
5:09
5:14
5:03
4:52 (pace for 340 m.)
4:39
4:38
4:39
4:23 (pace for 310 m.)

The average pace was exactly 5:00 per K -- and I felt comfortable the entire way. We were carrying on a conversation the way down to the turn around, and I felt good on the way back. A successful run!
