Met Loren at 5:15 AM. We did our first quality run together in quite a while. It was a short one to get back into the groove of tempo work. We did a good warm up followed by 3 laps at Fort Ethan Allen. I planned on running around 6:40, but ended up running the first mile in 6:16, too quick. So, I backed off a touch and ended up running closer to my 10K pace rather than my intended 1/2 marathon pace. Even though I felt like I was working hard, my HR remained in the 150s; a good sign that my fitness is improving. I'll find a small 10k race in the next few weeks to evaluate my fitness level. I'm hoping for under 39 minutes.
