AM - 15 Fields. 9 mile Tempo. Wasn't up super early this morning, as I only needed to be done by 7:00 - so that was nice. Planned on getting in 9 tempo - with sets of 3 miles at Tinman, just over marathon pace, and just under MP. Warmed up 4 and then got into the tempo moving past the Chipman's. Felt good for the 3 Tinman; had to hold myself back a little as I knew the rest would be tough. The next 3 were planned at 5:45, and those were on, but while some felt easy, the last one was tough and I worried about going quicker and if I would be able to hit the last set. Moved into the 5:30 section and really just had to gut it out - but I got it. Interesting how you can feel so different on the same run, up and down and all over the place. Good workout though, really good workout. (Kinvara 330.15) Solid week: Hit two good tempo paced workouts, mileage was solid, kids ran very well this weekend and were hitting qualifiers and PR's all over the place - girls even ended up getting 2nd at the invite! Goals for next week: Mileage shouldn't be and issue as I will have Friday off from school and plan on a longer run then (with a little tempo) and also plan on some quicker stuff earlier in the week.
