Met up with the Octagon of Trust again this morning (minus Mike and Dustin) for our Tinman tempo pace workout. We did a different loop today. We started at Clyde's house, went over by the Washington Bridge, hit the road by Costco, and then back on to the river trail. The plan was a 3 mile warm up, 8 miles at TM, and then 2 miles for a cool down. I was a little tight in my shins and hamstrings from the 10k still so I was curious to see how this workout would go. We got started and Dave and Clyde started chit chatting about life and how great it is. Life is great but I wanted to get this workout done. I felt good until about mile 6 when the heat got to me and I dry heaved a couple times. I gritted my teeth and finished pretty good. I hit the 8 TM miles with a 5:57/mile average. I was thrilled to get through this workout. I didn't feel great throughout but it is nice to have this one in the books. My mind was telling me to run with the kids at practice today but my body was telling me no. I listened to my body and I am glad I did.
