I brought my BRAND NEW GARMIN to Liberty Park for my last tempo run. My workout goal was 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile with half a mile recovery at increasingly fast paces. I saw Skyline's cross country team about ready to start their tempo, so I offered to pace the girls on their 3 mile. Tom wanted 6:10, 6:00, 5:50. Whew! Not really in the plan, but I said I would try.

I only got .6 warmup in before we started. Mile 1: 6:06 (got out a little quick the first .25, which is normal for high school runners. Mile 2 6:00 (right on, but the girls were having a tough time matching pace.) Mile 3: 5:45. 17:51 for the 3 mile. Half mile jog. 12:03 for the 2 mile. ( I decided to bring back the pace a little.) Half mile jog. 5:41 for the mile. Half mile jog. I planned on a longer cooldown, but got talking to Tom about coaching high schoolers. Before I knew it, I needed to get home. Good thing it's taper time!

I'm definitely happy with this workout. I can't wait until next week!
