10 miles up/down Provo Canyon from my house with Melanie, Rebecca, Melody and Emily. Average 6:52 pace. This run felt hard. I was tired going to the top, avg 7:05 when we turned around, then we ran fast down for about three miles, 6:24, 6:18, 6:24, and slower the last two. I didn't know what was going on, just that Melody and Emily were leaving the rest of us in the dust. When we stopped at the drinking fountain 2 miles from home I said, "this feels like a tempo," and Emily said, "This is a tempo." |
