Very disappointed with my run this morning.  The 7 mile tempo run is the one run in Pfitz's plan that I always have a problem with.  Warmed up with 3 super easy miles and felt good.  I was going to be running in to the wind for 4+ miles of the tempo miles.  I knew I had to focus on effort and not worry about my splits.  Unfortunately, I could not get my legs to move as fast as I wanted.  The entire run was a struggle even though it didn't feel like I was pushing as hard as I should.  Just couldn't get into the run at all.  The pace was 6:50-6:55 in to the wind and was hoping that the last 3 miles would be decent once I started running with the wind.  The pace got even slower which was a huge blow to my confidence.  I stopped after 5 miles to try and regroup.  Talked myself into finishing the tempo miles even though they were slow.  The last thing that I need is another workout cut short.

Bummer workout, sorry.

yeah it is the one workout we always want to nail - It is a tough one to start with, let alone starting it with 4 into a headwind. You'll nail it next time.

sorry it was a tough one. But the effort is never wasted. WAY to stick it out! :)
