I was sick of running in the black of the morning so I slept in and then ran at around 6:00pm after I got home from work... I ran out towards mini GU corner via canal road out and back, I was feeling pretty good so I decided to do a tempo run and see how long I could hold my pace, I didn't feel like going marathon pace but I wanted to do a tempo that I could hold for awhile. I think they call it a tinman tempo or something like that, my splits went as follows; 7:57(141), 8:15(146), 7:59(144), 8:02(150), 8:10(156), 7:39(158) and then I cooled down with a mile at the end and that was 9:02(148)...  My average pace was 8:10 with my heart rate average at148 total time was 57:31. One thing that was pretty cool was my last tempo mile it was the fastest of them all  it felt like I was working the least on that mile, which is a good sign. I felt really good about this run because I had already walked 9 holes of golf and my legs felt pretty frisky even after that so that is a good sign as well. I will see how I feel in the morning and determine then If I am going to run in the morning or if I will wait till after work, I want to make sure I have recovered enough for tomorrow's run...

It was sure beautiful out today, shorts and top was all I needed. No beanie no gloves no tights I felt light as a feather!!!

See ya tomorrow.
