Yesterday I had a 6 am flight out of Seattle so had to get up very early to get to the airport and when I got home we went straight to my neice's wedding rehearsal (my daughter's are in the wedding). So missed my run yesterday. Seems like the travel is costing me about 1 day a week of training. Hopefully, it will get more manageable.
Beautiful morning (55, light wind). I planned on doing a tempo run this morning. I have my in-laws coming in town for the wedding so have a busy day planned or I might have did a long run. Anyway, ran 4 miles easy to get warmed up then ran a 4 mile tempo with 1 mile cool down. The goal was to run around 6:45 for the tempo miles. Here are the splits for the tempo:
1st - 6:52
2nd - 6:44
3rd - 6:40
4th - 6:32
I didn't feel great this morning so I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. The first mile of the tempo was probably the worst. I just didn't feel like I could get going. The 3rd and 4th were my best ones as I felt like I was gettting into a groove. Overall pretty good run.
