Nice fall day. Temp in mid 60's with some wind. I felt kind of sluggish today but still planned to do a 4 mile tempo at 7:00 pace. After a 3 mile warmup I was still not feeling very strong but started the tempo anyway. The first mile felt like I had to push to get it on pace but settled into the pace. Second mile was not bad but was running back into the wind so felt harder than it should. Third mile I was having to push to stay on pace and toward the end of the 3rd mile I was pushing too hard for tempo pace so just shut it down and jogged in. Ran the 3 miles in 6:58, 6:59 and 6:58. Glad to get in 3 miles but just one of those days. Will try it again next week. 62:11 (7:47 avg)
