Helped at my daughter's school this morning so didn't get out to run until around 3. It was warm (75) and humid. Today I did 2 x 2m at tempo pace with a 1/2 mile job between. The goal is to run around 6:40 pace. I did a two mile warmup and then the first tempo. The first two miles went pretty good. It took me a little while to get going but after about a 1/2 mile I settled into the right pace. The first two mile were 6:40 and 6:37. After the 1/2 jog started the second 2 m tempo. It went pretty well. I felt good most of the way but that last 1/2 mile I was having to push it to stay on pace. These two miles were 6:38 and 6:37. Overall felt ok with the workout. I would have liked to just run straight through instead of jogging between but it has been awhile since I have done any faster running and I am still feeling tired from the trip so didn't want to push it too much.
