Thursday morning--time for a tempo run--and my body, mind and spirit were united! More specifically, they were united against doing a tempo run. Somehow dragged my body through three sleepy miles up to Foothill Blvd and Sunnyside and then decided it was time to get moving. Started a five mile tempo run with the goal of getting down to Sugarhouse Park. First mile was still a little sleepy, 6min. Second mile, cruising down the very high quality downhill grade on 2100 East, 5:45. Third mile, flatter and then a grunt climb up through the gully at the Country Club to 2700 South, 6min. Fourth mile, gentle downhill to 1700E and then flat, 5:45. Fifth mile, into Sugarhouse park, just getting the job done, 5:45. My pace seems to have been very consistent and I actually think this is a great course for a tempo workout, notwithstanding my early reluctance to do it.
Finished a loop of the park and then ran home at a very easy pace.
