Tempo Run with the St George Running Club. This week has been kind of crazy since I was in SLC and didn't have anyone to watch the kids Mon or Tuesday morning, then Wed I was just too tired to wake up and run. So, I haven't run since Saturday. Today's run was very challenging, but I enjoyed it. We did a slow 1.5 mile warm-up, then the tempo was 5 miles, then I just did 1 mile cooldown since I had to get back to help Paul with an event he was putting on. It was pretty hot this morning even at 5:30 - about 76 degrees, but i think it cooled to about 73 by the time we were done. My splits for the 5 mile tempo were: 7:28, 7:54, 7:40, 7:46, 7,43(with a hill). I felt like I did ok considering I haven't tried running a tempo run like this for a long time. Hopefully it will get easier for me to hold these paces.
