Tempo today. Ran mile warm up, 6 miles at pace, then a mile cool down.

Splits:

  1. 9:23
  2. 7:41
  3. 7:38
  4. 7:30
  5. 7:32
  6. 7:36
  7. 7:32
  8. 8:40
Felt encouraged that I can still run in the 7's. My workout was supposed to be at 7:51 pace but I was afraid I was going to slow so I kept speeding up. I need to stay patient even on my speed days and let the program do it's thing.
