Today was a repeat of last weeks disastrous Tempo Run but this time I was mentally prepared for it and knew what I was getting into. With that said, I know I felt much better when it was over and it is reflected in the overall run (not necessarily the Tempo part, but the Recovery miles, and post-run). I started out with the intent to run 9:00 slow miles and 7:00 minute fast miles. My first warm-up mile was ok but when I finished my Tempo mile I realized I had run a little faster than planned. It was so dark I couldn't even see my feet much less my watch (unless I pushed the power button so it would illuminate). Well, I can't really couldn't keep pushing the button every few seconds or I'd have felt like I was on the show "Lost", so I just ran what I felt was good but at a exerted effort. It ended up being faster than 7:00 as you can see. I feel like I made progress even if it was just mentally with this run. ....Did I mention I don't like running when it's so dark you can't see your feet...!

Exodus 10:20-22
20But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days.
