I have been tired and sore the last two days, so rather than running a difficult speed workout today I ran a longer tempo keeping the pace just slightly under 6:00 for most of the tempo. I did have a short break of just over a minute two miles into the tempo as I ran off course briefly (on purpose), but otherwise the tempo was continuous. The run started with a 9:00+ first mile, three miles total, followed by the tempo which was finished in 35:26 with splits of 6:06, 5:56, 5:59, 5:53, 5:49, 5:43. I then ran 3 miles back to my apartment, followed by adding about a half mile after getting home. Total time for 12.5 miles was 1:25:47 (1:21:44 at 12 miles). After getting home I performed lunges with Shayon on my shoulders, and afterwards I performed jumps starting at 90 degrees, jumping up one step, going back to 90 and jumping up a second step before coming back down to the beginning and repeating the process over again. These were also performed with Shayon on my shoulders (he weighs a little over 20 pounds).
