Workout day -- Good midweek morning, even thought the isn't out like I had hoped. Wanted some tempo miles, with a five-mile race on tap for Saturday I'll have two chances to do that type of workout this week. Two miles warm up out to the Warren Ave bridge, then started the tempo run at half-marathon pace. First mile is always fast because of a short downhill stretch, and I hit the first mile, just past Lions Park, in 5:45. Then Tracyton Beach Road flattens out, more or less, and I did a 6:13. Turned after the #2 marker and did a 6:08, then turned again (rather than just return past the park and go up the hill) and did a 5:58. Felt strong the whole way through.
Four miles back, taking it easy but at least one of them was around 7. Legs felt pretty heavy by the last couple of hills in Manette, I was a little zapped by then. Double helping of toast at breakfast to get a little energy back for what is promising to be a long day.
