Had a busy day at work yesterday and my wife was out of town with her mother in the hospital so had extra stuff to do with the kids so no run yesterday. Was glad to get back out today. Had an super early meeting this morning so ran after work. It was a really warm beautiful day (78 and windy). I planned on doing a 4 mile tempo around 7:00 pace today. Did a couple of miles warmup and was feel kind of tired. Jumped into the tempo anyway. First mile was ok but didn't feel the best. Ran it in 7:02. Second mile was more of a struggle and toward the end I was pushing too hard for a tempo so just called it off for today. Second mile in 7:03. Not sure if I am just tired from a lot of extra work stuff and lack of sleep or if it is something with my fitness. Will give it a few days and see how it goes. 55:28 (7:56 avg) |
