For the second week in a row I made the choice (wise or otherwise) to join Josh for a Big Workout. Josh had a 6 mile tempo planned. I thought I would run 4 at tempo pace, out of concern at a sudden increase in both mileage and intensity. We ran a 4 mile warmup over to Foothill and 21st East and then started the tempo. It was enjoyable, I held ~6 min pace throughout. Josh added a couple of extra while I began my cooldown. Then we re-grouped and ran towards home on 15th East, through the U.
I don't feel completely clobbered, which is good. I do realize that this run was longer than my weekend "long runs" have been for quite a while. It's nice to be out there pushing the pace a bit, in between long easy sections.
