Surprisingly speedy

Tokyo, Week 2, Day 3; 3 miles, 8:55/mile.

A virtuous congruence of several things appears to have led to a surprisingly speedy pace of 8:55/mile today: nice weather, two days of rest, no touch of the tightness in my achilles' that I had last week, a string of up-tempo songs on my iPod, letting loose on downhill segments while pushing it on uphill segments, etc. The real trick now is preventing a slide back towards the roughly 10-minute mile pace I was doddering along at last week.
