Morning run up to PA 8 in city creek, then I decided to run back out of city creek using the meandering trail to the west of the main road. It was nice running on the trail, but it dumped me out on the main bonneville road so I didn't go by my normal water fountain (which I missed more than I thought I would!). I headed home so I could get a drink and start some laundry and water sprinklers, and then did 3.75 miles more on my treadmill. Ramped up the speed a little on the TM so that I ran the middle 2.25 miles at a 10 minute mile pace. That used to be my tempo speed, but I think I need to bump my tempo speed up a little because while that pace is faster than the very leisurely pace I have been running lately, it really didn't seem quite hard enough to consider it a tempo pace. (I've just been running slow and lazy for about a month now, and need to incorporate some faster running each week; it's time to try to speed up my old body!)
