2 miles WU 5:54, 5:52, 5:49, 5:50, 5:48, 5:54 2 miles CD I wanted to get a marathon paced "tempo" run in. At first it was uncomfortable and felt faster than "marathon pace" and of course it is faster than my current ability to run a marathon although I may be able to do it by Boston time. I ended up going faster than expected and it took concentration to keep the pace not too fast but not too slow. I wanted to hit 5:55 every mile. turns out I averaged about 5:52. good enough for now. I was thinking about how it will feel when I get this tempo up to 10 and 12 miles. ouch!
