Getting some speed back in my runs

My running partner called late yesterday afternoon and invited me to join him for a 5-mile run. I looked out the window and it was still sunny. Windy but no rain. And I needed to clear my head anyhow. We headed out on a new loop and chatted. I felt like we were going at a comfortable but faster pace than our previous runs together and yet I still felt like I was chatting easily. Could the rest from tapering really be helping? Possibly. I felt good enough that after he left, I continued on another 4-mile loop at a brisk pace for a short tempo run before the sun set. Paces averaged 10:22 for 5 miles and then 8:59 for the 4-mile leg. And I still felt really good at the end of the run. I'm feeling more optimistic about the marathon.
