Morning run, pretty decent day for a tempo workout on the 11th St-Shore Drive loop (out and back for the longer version). We're settling into one of those long rainy spells so it's good to get a few dry miles when I can. Anyway, 1.25 mile warm-up, 3 miles Tinman Tempo (I'm estimating between 6:35-6:45/mile), 1.25 back home, then half a mile up to Soundview Drive slowly with the dog. This workout was much better than the same two weeks ago, when I split it up into 3x1 mile. Part of that was settling into a more appropriate pace. My left hamstring was just a little tight for a bit, but it worked itself out without much problem. Felt pretty strong all the way through the tempo miles, pace was consistent and I was working by the end but not falling apart.
