Good run this afternoon, even though it was pretty warm when I started at 3:30. I think it was close to 80.

Anyway Sunny drove me out to Anderson Junction and I did a two mile warm-up (average 7:26) then I decided I would try a 4 mile tempo run, just to see how much fitness I've lost since being slowed down with this calf injury the last month.

The last time I did this workout was on Feb 2, and my splits went

1-6:15

2-6:24

3-6:16

4-5:53

24:50 overall with a 6:13 average

Today I was pretty happy with my splits considering the heat, coming off an injury, and dealing with a headwind

1-5:53

2-6:10 was ready to stop here, but figured I could go one more mile

3- 6:23 actually felt better right at the end so decided to finish and do one more mile

4-5:55

24:22 overall 6:06 average

Two miles easy home.

Overall good workout and nice to see where I'm at. I still have a long way to go. I wish I could have avoided the calf injury and been in better shape and preparing for the Ogden Marathon, however I think I will just have to focus on the Deseret News Marathon.
