I did the tempo run that was on my schedule for today. This is how it went: I warmed up a mile, then started my pace at 6:35. 1/2 way into it I decided I would just do 3 miles instead of 5 if I did a sub-20 5K. As I neared 3 miles I thought I was going to make it, easy. Well, that dang 0.1 mile was a lot farther than I thought. I was at 19:35 at 3 miles so I kept upping the pace to try and get 19:59 or less. 3.1 hit right at 20:00 exactly. Dang! I had to stop then to change a diaper, then back up to do 2 more miles. I did them at a 6:30 pace, then cooled down a mile. I felt pretty good running at that pace. I should've just gone a bit faster to start out with on my 5K. Oh well, next time.
