Tempo Tuesday with the Circle. Knew it was going to be interesting when I saw 84 degrees on the thermometer. That is too hot for 5am in the morning. We did the old tempo loop out in the fields. Warmed up 3.5 miles, VRPB, and then got started. Just wanted to run and not stress about looking at the watch. I just wanted to listen to the body. Ended up hitting 5:40/mile for the 7 mile tempo run. Pretty happy with the run considering I was drenched in sweat. It is good to be home in the heat! This was one of those character runs for the Circle. 13.1 total miles. Ran a little bit for warm up and then during kid's camp. I filled up the tubs for the kids for an ice bath. They needed it and have worked hard to deserve it.
Ran a warm up with the team at Chelsi's Run and then ran the race with Katey. Should have maybe ran it hard but ended up not doing it since I thought it was more important to run with the Mrs.
