am: ran our first tempo today! started out with the boys towards washington fields area and i took a short stop at the bridge to use the restroom and the team continued onward as usual. but this time i didnt feel like pushing the pace to catch up to them figuring i had a tempo later on in the run so i just ran thinking they would wait for me at the turn around...later when i got to the turn around no one was there. i was confused cause they didnt pass me on the way our so i figured they were just being dumb and went another way so i turned and did the run on my own.
started the tempo at mile 6. felt good to go fast and hard. hit the first mile right on pace (6:00) and then the next mile was nearly all up hill so i pushed these hard. i was surprised that i had accually ran this faster (5:55) so it was a solid tempo. i was pretty tired the whole run though, not enough sleep, but i'm getting better at putting stuff aside and just running.
ps. turns out the group went to the bathroom at the turn around then waited for me so i beat them back. |
