Tempo Tuesday: 1 1/2 mile warmup then 4 1/2 tempo @ approx. 7:00 pace...forgot my garmin. 2 mile coodown. Today's workout felt really good. I went out just hoping that I could tempo for 3 miles. At 3 Tom came running by me so I decided to try and stick with him as long as i could, then there is the hill at mile 4, head down power thru and held on to him. Then on to the end of the tempo felt more liek a race trying to push the pace a bit harder to finish strong.
This Tuesday morning run has helped me already. 2 weeks ago I ran the 4 1/2 mile tempo and was around 7:45 pace and it didn't feel so good.Today, although I didn't think I had it in me I was able to block out my doubts and have a good workout. {23degrees}
