Tempo morning. I realized at the last minute that Lily had snack bucket for school today. The only food we have in bulk is protein drinks and bars. Maybe some energy gels. That would be a pretty weird preschool snack. So, I made a scramble to the store and ended up running at the gym. My legs were a little tired, but aftet an extended warm up, they felt ready to go. 25 minute warm-up, followed by a 7 mile tempo. 42:15. 6:02 average. On the accurate treadmill. I thought of running eight, but started getting a side cramp in the last mile. So, I called it good at seven. I warmed down just over 15 minutes to hit 12.5.

I think protein bars and gu would be a fabulous snack for preschool! ;) Nice tempo! You always impress me with how fast you can run those in.
