Met Tara at the LPT for the usual tempo Tuesday run. We decided that we would run our normal pace for the first few miles then finish with 2 miles at tempo pace. She suggested 6:30 and I thought there was no way I could approach that speed. Our first "fast"mile was 6:43 according to my watch and 6:39 according to hers. The discrepancy is due to the tunnel and I don't know whose is correct. The last mile was 6:28. I started to feel it towards the end and I inadvertently abruptly stopped as soon as I hit the mile marker. Tara continued on to finish the full nine miles. Happy with the effort and pace.
