Ran the Providence - Millville loop this morning. Daylight Savings made it pretty dark and made it seem really early. I was feeling ok after the 10 miler on Sat and decided to try and do a tempo run. I started out easy with two miles in 7:19 and 7:11 then had two hilly miles to the top of Providence 7:23, 8:17. I went hard up the hills but not quite MP effort. As I crested the last of the hills, I decided to run hard the rest of the way home and see how it went. There were a lot of downhill miles that made it easy and made me lazy so that when the flat miles snuck up on me, I wasn't working hard enough. I went, 6:29, 6:08(downhill -felt like 6:40), 6:36(flat miles now), 6:33, 6:21 (really focused that mile), 6:33, and 6:34. I walked around the block when I was done to cool down. It felt pretty good considering how my legs felt. They were pretty sore and tired by the end of todays run.
