learning to run easy

my sense of pace has been all kinds of screwed up lately. fortunately, it has been mostly on the positive - things seem to be faster than what i think when i check them. the past two days have been 5 mile easy runs. yesterday's was particularly easy because my legs were TIRED from a few quick-ish hilly days in a row. today, the plan is to get in a solid 7-8 miles easy with the team. we'll see how that turns out.
