It was a cool crisp morning, and the stars were out brightly shinning. I witnessed 4 shooting stars this morning it was spectacular and so was the run, I wanted to do a 1 mile tempo with 2x800 meter repeats. I started with a 1 mile warm up, 8:33(144) and then eased into the tempo mile, 7:39(160) not real fast but its a start, I then did a recovery 800 followed by a 800 tempo 3:55. Recovery for another 800 meter and followed that up with another 800 meter tempo, 3:45(159), I then cooled down with a 1 mile recovery 8:55(156) heart rate was alittle high still especially for the cool down mile, I don't know why this is I am hoping that as I get consistant it will find its way back down... Total time was 42:10 with an average pace of 8:24, my heart rate average was 153, my leg felt good through most of the run but as I write this it is a little sore but not as bad as I thought it would be... I feel I am turning the corner so to speak, no more tempos this week and still no hills until I feel 100%. I am going hunting in the morning so I might take that day off and then resume running on Wednesday, or I might do a couple of miles when I get home, I will have to see.
