5 mile speedy run

Cool out, ran up at the lake, 5 miles while Judy ran 4... tapering down to the marathon. Felt pretty fresh so pushed it a bit - 5 miles in 44:25, 8:53 pace, fastest mile was 7:55 (4th mile) ... could have probably ran a 10K (6.2 miles) at that pace, didn't feel like I was pushing too hard. Splits of 9:37, 9:09, 8:58, 7:55 and 8:44. AHR of 169. AHR for the 7:55 mile was 177. Overall felt pretty good.
