Tempo run in a down pour gotta love it : ) for 3.8 miles at 7:18 per mile pace. Steady to hard effort sucking some wind tonight as I have a little bit of a head cold & fair amount of sinus congestion sort of made it tough to get a good breathing rythm. The next couple days will be EZ miles to freshen legs for Flying Pig Marathon (I am doing the Relay 6.9) mile portion. Forgot to add had a 30 minute strength session at YMCA at lunch. Dumbell Bench pressses 40 lbs 12 reps warm up.. 55 lbs 12 reps 65 lbs 8 reps 75 lbs 4 reps. Triceps 3x 10 reps, biceps 3 X 10 Reps 1 set shoulder x 12 & 1 Set back / lats x 12 reps.

Good work! How bad did it hurt?

When doing a tempo run it is a good idea to add some jogging warm-up ( a mile or two), and a cool-down. This help you avoid injuries, gives you a low-effort aerobic development, and helps keep the wait down.

Nice picture.

At times it hurt then I back off a bit until I felt comfortable then I pushed the pace again. I will give the warm up/ cool down a try. Thanks
