I ran really early this morning. I wanted to be done before Cole got off for his first day of school. First Grade!!!! I can't believe it. I decided to tempo today. Lily has surgery tomorrow, so I don't know how the rest of the week is going to go.

I warmed up 20 minutes, and then ran a nine mile tempo. I practiced with Heed every three miles today. No gus needed. I felt really strong and under control today. I attribute it to the recovery drink I have started using. Teren just thinks I'm actually getting in shape. 9 miles: 54:33. 6:03-04 per mile. 1.5 mile cool down.

Nice tempo lady! I think it was good for you to switch it up and do it today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring! Good luck to Lily on the surgery. Let me know if you need any help.
