Afternoon run, partly sunny, temp. 65'
I couldn't get out tell 2:30 this afternoon, to many fires to put out. As soon as I started running I could tell my 2 mile tempo run would be tough. I wanted to run the miles under 6 minutes. I ran about 2.5 miles then I started the tempo run. The first mile felt good with a 5:56 but I could tell the 2nd mile was going to hurt. I push hard and ran a 5:54 which I then immediatly went to a 10+ minute mile pace for the next quarter mile trying to recover. I'm sure 2 sub 6's are probably a little faster than I should be running for a tempo run but it felt good to know I could do it.
Time 36:53, Mile avg. - 7:15
