3.xx mile tempo run on the Mall! My friend from work had a Garmin -- I wanted to do somewhere between a 3 and 4 mile tempo run @ 7:17-7:35 pace. We did longer than 3 miles, maybe 3.5 but since I wasn't sure exactly how much more than 3 miles I just am calling it 3 miles. The pace was not as consistent as I thought it would be -- I have never used a Garmin before - but it was pretty cool have her call my pace out to me! The first mile averaged about 7:30-7:35, the second mile was right on 7:30 and the third mile was between 7:00 - 7:12 ... I did not mean to do that and the 7:00 min part made me feel really sick ;-) ... but I was pretty happy overall, I could have run another mile if I had the time ... but we had to get back to pack up and get to our meetings.
Tonight I am staying with some friends - they live up in Maryland near Rock Creek Park, it will be a nice run tomorrow and I can't wait to spend some time with my friends here. |
