6 easy miles tonight. Felt ok as took things steady.

Used a new metric on my watch which I didn't know about to view automatic lap average pace. This is extremely useful in controlling pace on a per mile basis. I used to use this metric all the time on my previous Garmin watches and was disappointed to learn this Polar M430 did not have this feature. Turns out it does.

Having run the first 5 miles around 8:30/mile I decided to up the pace to 7:30 to test the metric for change of pace. The watch did ok after some lag but I found it a little tougher than it should feel to run at this pace for the last mile. Will probably take a rest day tomorrow.

Conditions were a little drizzly but otherwise not too bad.
