AM: Easy run with Saskia this morning. We did a repeat of Saturday's mess and I felt much better, though I do think it is down hill heading out and up hill heading back. Avg Pace 8:51. PM: Met the group at the store for some tempo miles.....not sure we did a true tempo but we did some fast paced miles. We did a 3 mile warm up - 8:20, 8:00, 7:55 and then did the same loop as the fast paced miles - 7:22, 7:30, 7:33. Pretty disappointed with the fast paced miles, the effort was hard and I never felt like I was in a rhythm, just pushing. I am going to have to figure out how to run in the evening, it is a little different the early morning runs. I was pretty miserable the second loop, but if I want to run faster, I have to run faster. The key will be sticking with these workouts and then trying to pick up the Thursday workout as well. Avg Pace 7:47.
