I've had every intention of running a tempo run this week but I kept putting it off. Finally forced myself to put in the effort today. Ran a 4 mile tempo run after warming up with 3 semi-easy miles. The pace felt good after the first 1/4 mile. Unfortunately my Garmin died halfway into the tempo miles. I think that my first 2 miles were 6:35 and 6:25. I tried to maintain the same effort for the last 2 miles but fear that I may not have pushed as hard as I should have without having the watch to keep me honest. I'm guessing that I averaged no worse than 6:35/mile for the 4 miles. Finished up with 2 cool down miles. Got home and my son was pacing nervously on the driveway. He has to be to school early on Friday's and I guess I cut it a little too close for his comfort.
Total Time: 1:06:20 (7:22/mile) |
