43F. Yep, pretty much perfect weather, not much wind either. So I cranked out 9 easy, followed by 4 tempo.

9 easy in 7:56 AP.

4 tempo in 6:27 AP (6:37, 6:34, 6:27, 6:09).

Overall 7:29 AP.

Obviously a little carried away at the end, as 6:09 is out of my tempo range but I rarely ever run that fast so probably no harm done.

I ran in the Type A shoes today, and now I'm wondering if this would be a better shoe than the Kinvara for races. They are not quite as comfortable, but seem to rebound a lot better than the softer Kinvaras. Probably need to test them more, it might be too much pounding for a marathon but I'd like to try them in some longer runs.

Nice job, Joe.

Holy Smokes! A 6:09 in your 13th mile! Great run all the way around.

Whoa Joe that is a seriously awesome tempo after a long warm-up! Looks really solid--your week off did you some good. You keep cranking out workouts like this, you are going to have to seriously consider sub-3 in Houston. I mean it!

Holy schnicky Joe .... Great run today! Got to be feeling good for Houston!

You are cranking out some massive mileage lately. Nicely done.

I'd wear the Type A shoes everyday if they made me run that fast!

Man...You're sure getting fast Joe..!
