Just once I wish I would wake up on tempo day full of energy and excited to run.  Was awake between 1 and 3 for some unknown reason then up at 4:30 to start the day.  Warmed up with 3 easy miles then started a 4 mile tempo run.  Warm up miles were slower than usual (8:45/mile) which had me concerned.  Once I got my legs moving during the tempo miles I felt a lot better.  Pace and form felt very good and smooth.  Splits were: 6:27, 6:25, 6:26, 6:27.  Maybe I need to start working on getting control of the erratic pace.  Cooled down with 2 easy miles.

Your warm up miles were slower than usual b/c you still had several REM cycles to do...up at 1,3 & 4:30?!!! Eeek!

Oh yah, you really need to start controlling those erratic tempo pace... C'mon get with it! I expect to see a solid 6:25 next time! :D

AMAZING! GREAT WORK as usual, Andy! Have a FANTASTIC week! :)

Yeah that erratic pace, WHAT??? You were within 2 seconds on every split.

The erratic pace comment was a joke. It is the same pace I ran a couple of weeks ago and probably the same pace I will run the next time.
