Originally I was planning on just doing an easy 6 mile run from home, but one the people I was going to run with had to cancel and I knew the other person was probably iffy so I cancelled on her and took up Raj on a late invite for tempo run starting out at Longleaf.
1.5 mile warm up then 5 miles between 6:38 and 6:51.
6:48, 6:50, 6:51, 6:39, 6:38
Also ran with
Viviano from Puerto Rico. He had no problem keeping up - it was a
medium pace run for him. On the fourth mile I felt really strong, but felt a little bit lagging on the last mile and the other two guys were picking it up. I didn't want to make it a race so I dropped back just slightly but not far at all.
Cool down about .7 miles. A bit warm for a
tempo run, but you get what you get.
Once I got home, as I got out of the car, the sky was a very brilliant pink. In fact, it wasn't just the sky, it seemed to be the air itself, but it must have really just been the sky.

A little bit after that a heavy rain came rolling in.
