Been having a hard time keeping up with the blogging but hoping I can do the better in the future. I have had a lot going on with work and the running is what seems to be dropping off the schedule. Today I was able to get in 5 miles after meetings and before commiments with the kids. Felt good today so decided to do some tempo work. I just ran the tempo on time not distance so I did 20 minutes at tempo pace which should have been around 3 miles.

Just make sure to go out for at least a mile every day. That is much better than a goose egg, and it adds up.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I have fallen into the trap that if I can't get a least 5 miles in I am not going out. Appreciate the advice!!
