I wanted to tempo 4 miles straight with a negative split end (which I kind of did if you count the warm up mile).  But I should have started RP at mile 3 instead of 2.  Mile 5 was just killer, I had to take a breather.  I'm getting there ....running 3 miles at race pace is way easier that doing 100 M sprint/stride repeats.  I'm going to build those to 300 M next week.  I hope I Saturday's long run isn't a disaster.  Fast running really gets my hams/glutes and they are tired now. I'll be happy to pull of 16 sub 10's.

NICE tempo run! Your splits were pretty consistent. Mine are usually all over the place. Was mile 5 hilly? It takes a lot of focus/concentration to maintain that tempo pace. You're doing GREAT.

Stretch those hammies and glutes. Run a nice and easy recovery tomorrow. Your legs will be ready on Sat. NO worries about pace on long runs. I'm so excited to see you! :)

I'm excited to see you guys too. I guess it always snows when I come to run the JRP :( I woke up with a bit of a chest cold today. Should be fun running 16 miles in the snow with a cold! Maybe it won't be that bad. But it sure will be nice to see everyone.
