It was cool again this morning (28) but not windy. Today the plan was to do a 4 mile tempo at around 6:55 pace. Felt pretty good doing a 3 mile warmup then started the tempo. It was tough getting started the first mile but after about a 1/2 mile started to get into a groove. Felt good on the 2nd and 3rd miles and most of the 4th. Was starting to feel it toward the end of the 4th mile but I had picked up the pace some. Ended up running 6:55, 6:53, 6:43, 6:42. Was happy with the run and it felt good to put in a hard effort again. It has been a long time since I have really had any decent training so it is feeling good to get back into it. 60:52 (7:36 avg) |
