Winter has finally arrived, about 6 weeks later than normal. No complaints from me! I finally had to bust out the gloves, beenie and Sporthill pants. This was my first tempo run since the end of September. Not fure if I should get a few more miles/weeks under my belt before picking up the pace. If I want to have any speed in January then I'll have to start doing speed now. Did 1 mile easy, then 5 mile tempo. My legs felt a little strained. I stretched a ton after the run and used the stick to loosen things up, but who knows. Time would have been faster, but around 2.2 miles I walked and stretched the hamstrings to see if they would loosen up. Didn't help my legs and it slowed me down by 20-30 seconds.
Tempo Time: 29:30
Pace: 5:54
