AM:  I was conisdering doing a race but my heart just wasn't in it.  Had no motivation to go and run hard.  Plus it was a little wet and windy out which killed anything I had left.  So I scrapped it and ran 4 on the treadmill before work (working both days this weekend doesn't help my motivation).  Easy 8:34 pace

 

PM: To make up for not doing the race I did tempo intervals on the treadmill after work.
1 mile warm-up
2 x 3200 @ 6:18 with 2 min recovery
1 x 1600 @ 6:10
1 mile cooldown.

 Felt strong during them, hopefully I'm getting faster

Twas raining and and icky out so I did my long run on the treadmill. Watched 50/50.  So boring!  Took a break at 7 miles to save my sanity.  Averaged 8:06 pace, felt good

After being extra lazy this week I decided that I should maybe run.

Tempo run at the park.  Ran down to the park, did 3.5 miles at tempo pace and then ran home.  Pace during the tempo was 6:22.  Felt pretty ok but a little labored.  The inside of my shin are also starting to act up again.  I hope that I can pull off the 1:25 next weekend at my half
