Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 4 at tempo pace.  I wasn't in the right place mentally to maintain the proper focus during the run.  I continually tried redirecting my thoughts but they kept going to the same place.  Splits were: 6:34, 6:32, 6:37, 6:37.  The pace was alright but I don't feel like I put as good of an effort in as I should have.

Looks like a good tempo run. I guess the roads aren't icey any more?

Nice run, you got there without even thinking about it...looks like you have trained your body right to me!

You always expect sooooo much of yourself. I guess that's what makes you...well MR. consistent & speedy Andy! My tempo paces are never that consistent. May be I need to find a relatively flat stretch of road. Sometimes it's hard to redirect our thoughts! BTW, any more thoughts on lunch? :)

I should be able to work it out whenever it is good for everybody else. My girls have early out on Friday but I'm sure I can find somebody else to pick them up.

Make sure to let me know when lunch is!!! My kids are out early on Friday as well ... hmmmm.

Maybe we should all do a nice easy run and breakfast instead. Oh wait ... you don't do easy runs!!! :) (Comparatively speaking.)
