59F, N 11 mph.  7:13 AP.

16 w/10 @ MP.  Suceeded in keeping it below 6:50....my AP was 6:49.5.  Legs were still in fatigue mode but I thought it would be good to go ahead and do an endurance run while they were tired like this.

The 6 easy were in the 7:50s, with the 10 MP just below a 6:50 avg (6:49, 6:34, 7:00, 6:49, 6:42, 6:39, 6:54, 6:53, 7:01, 6:52)

The last 3 or 4 were painful, felt like the end of a marathon.  I know the next MP runs will go better, because I will make sure I am more rested, but I am definitely in a hole right now and need to take it easy for the rest of the week.  Still going to call it a successful workout though, because it was.

YES. 10 mile MP tempo is nothing to frown on. You got a good lower-end long long run in too.

You're looking good as usual Joe. Even when you are in a hole.

Great tempo run! Those are the kind of runs I hope to build up to.
