Tempo Tuesday with the Circle on the DC loop.
3 mile warm up
5 mile tempo @ 5:30 avg. 5:29, 5:21, 5:24, 5:33, 5:41
Last week I hit a 5:39 avg so today was a little better. But I still struggled to close it out. During the last mile I inhaled a mesquito and it made me start dry heaving, plus the legs were getting heavy and there is a pesky little climb the last .17 or so. But I'd stll like to finish it off stronger. Hip was sorish but very runnable with the heat patch. 69 F when I walked outside. Did one more loop around the park after getting back.
149.5 lbs after the run.... still sitting too heavy. But considering the massive Apollo burger and fries I had for dinner last night. I guess I shouldn't complain.
Tried to pull some mojo from Paul's magical race on Saturday. The guy is amazing. Makes me want to work harder. Not to try and hit a qualifier. I know that's not realistic. But to maximize whatever potential I have left. Thanks for the boost man!
4.2 miles on the treadmill tonight.
