Still feeling a little stiff in the hamstring/butt area, but decided to go for it on this tempo run. This tempo run was overall pretty good, though slightly disappointing that I needed to take a short break after the first three miles. I was not quite at goal pace, but I shoot for around or just under 7 min/miles on tempo runs, especially in the morning (I find it hard to get good results on morning speed work). It was also quite windy.
2 miles easy, then my splits were: 7:01, 6:54, 6:58, (1 min break) 7:00, 6:50, 2 miles easy. I was very pleased with the last mile split. With three weeks until goal race, I think Im doing ok (albeit not brilliant) to get 5 total miles near race pace.
