Tempo day today. I ran a 2 mile warm-up, followed by 3 x 10 minutes with 5 minute recovery in betweeen. This was done on the treadmill since I slept in this morning and needed to utilize the day care. The first ten minutes I ran 10.0 mph for the first 5 minutes, and 10.1 for the second. The second 10 minutes I ran 10.1 and then 10.2. The final 10 minutes I ran 10.2 for the first five, 10.3 for the next 2. 5 minutes, 10.4 for 90 seconds, and finished at 10.5 for the last minute. So, the workout started at 6 minute mile pace, and finished at 5:42 mile pace. I cooled down until I hit 9.5 miles for the day.
I found out yesterday that a friend of mine from high school has breast cancer. So, I decided to run the Race for the Cure in May in her honor. |
