Warmed up with 2 easy miles. I wanted to get in some tempo miles today but wasn't sure how many. Started with 3 miles (2+ loops around the neighborhood) with the intent to run around 6:40/mile. Averaged 6:27/mile which was a little faster than I wanted. Heart rate started to get into the 170's so I decided to run 1 loop at an easy pace to reset my pace. After the easy lap, checked on the kids then ran 3 more tempo miles. These were more in control and I averaged 6:36/mile for the 3 miles. Cooled down with 1 more loop around the neighborhood. Feel really good about today's run. My wife comes home this afternoon so I can start venturing out again. Total Time: 1:17:16 (7:17/mile) Avg HR: 155
