w9,d7. Test #1

So I thought it would be a good idea to have a little pop quiz for myself to see where I am as far as my training and the sustainability of a 700-705 pace. I decided to do a 15 mile MGP run to see what is would feel like and observe how I felt at mile 15 to estimate if I had another 11 in me. Truth be told, the only way to really find out is to actually run the last 11, but no need for that now.
During the 15 miles the fastest mile was 655 and the slowest was 721. Total distance 15.5, avg pace 7:03, and I felt pretty good at the end. During this run I took 1 Gel and had one water stop at mile 6.
Their are a couple qualifying facts about this run though. The conditions were perfect. 63 deg, overcast, and the route was relatively flat. But it was a test and the conditions are supposed to be ideal for a test.
Grade B+.
I hit the paces I wanted to for the most part but had some instances of pushing it at times and had to reel myself back in to a sustainable pace.
Miles for the week 50.
