Warmed up with 3 easy miles then started a 4 mile tempo run.  I was really tired during the warm up.  I was really questioning whether or now the tempo miles were going to happen.  After the warm up, I decided to just try tempo pace and see how things went.  First mile 6:29 and felt pretty good.  I guess I just needed a little jump start.  Second mile 6:23 and I was still feeling good.  Third mile was 6:25 and I was starting to fatigue.  The last mile took a lot of work.  I was getting really tired.  I started to push harder the last quarter mile to get the split down.  Ended up finishing in 6:19.  Cooled down with 2 easy miles.  I was a little more tired than I would have liked to be at the end of the run but other than that it was a really good run.

Nice work on your tempo miles! Hard or not those will pay off. Great splits.

Makes me want to get out there and try a few.

Great run Andy you are so speedy!

Did you get your washer fixed? I still have the one that I bought 19 years ago, I pray for it to break down so that I can have a new one but it keeps hanging in there.

Nice speed on the tempo run. I like how each mile got faster.
