Philadelphia: I had early morning meetings so waited and ran after work and before dinner meetings. It was a beautiful day in the city of brotherly love (65, sunny). My hotel is in old town and I ran out to the river trail. It was about 1.5 miles out to the trail and had to stop a lot because of traffic lights. I wanted to do 4 miles tempo today so after 2 miles warm up picked up the pace. The first 2 tempo miles were into the wind and I was having a hard time getting going. After turning around and having the wind to my back I picked up the pace. After 4 miles I kept going pretty fast but got into the traffic areas so just counting that as MP since I stopped about 4 times for lights. This was not a great tempo run but considering the last week of not feeling the best while running I will take it. It is the best run that I have had in awhile. Here are the tempo splits:
1st - 6:53
2nd - 6:48
3rd - 6:32
4th - 6:30
I am not sure if I will be able to run tomorrow. I am hosting a big technology day at one of my customer's site then we are having a dinner afterwards so it will be a really busy day.
