6 miles on the trails with the girls. I don't have a ton of them but the few who I do have are running very well right now. I am really working with them on running as a pack and they are finally getting it. Decided to do a 3 mile tempo today within a shorter run this afternoon. It was pretty windy and very hot. When I started at 4:30 the temperature was 100 degrees. I did a 1.5 mile warm up and then my 3 mile tempo. The goal was to average at least 5:30/mile. I hit 5:23, 5:25, and 5:41 for 5:30/mile overall. The heat and wind were getting to me the last one and soon as I finished I chucked my sandwich and fluids from lunch. The joys of doing faster stuff in the heat. Oh well. Cooled down and got lots of fluids back at the truck. Happy with this workout. Will continue to work up each week.
