Tempo Tuesday on Thursday

Had a pretty good one today. Temps was 69 F at 4:50 when we left and continued to drop throughout the run. This helps tons!!! Wamed up out to Stucki and kept having stomach cramps. Finally out there I got in a good pre tempo #2 stop.

We got going and it was fast from the first mile. Logan kept the foot on the gas pushing me through miles 1,2,3 and into 4. I was really happy how I ran today following the race on Saturday and then the run down the course on Monday. Miles 5,6 are always hard on Mesquito and Riverside. I also couldn't see the guys any more and wondered if they'd stopped. So I kind of slowed thinking maybe I should turn around. But decided to just keep going. Then I wanted to try and get it going faster on the trail on miles 7,8. Didn't really do so on 7. Don't know why as I felt pretty good still but mentally just lost focus. Then on the last mile Steven came running up the trail and as I passed by him he flipped and started chasing me. I didn't know it was him and thought it was Dave or Logan comming back to me. So that helped me get the pace back.

Ended with a 5:34 avg for the 8 mile tempo. Not too shabby on this course. Staying out on Riverside is tough.

5:27, 5:21, 5:20, 5:33, 5:46, 5:46, 5:49, 5:34

5 miles on the treadmill this afternoon while the nanny was here. First day... That was pretty much amazing.
