Amaaaazing workout today!!! Honestly probably the best, meaning most well executed and simultaneously enjoyable, tempo of my running career.
2 mile warm up & cool down with a 10k tempo between. Core later. Target pace was 7:15. Mile splits: 7:04/7:11/7:16/7:09/7:06/7:02, averaging out to 7:07 per mile. Ran with Mell, she was also target pace 7:15 but for 5 miles instead of 6. We worked really well together and pushed and eachother at all the right places. I felt like I was working hard but at no point did I feel like I was suffering or unable to hold the pace I was going. It was fantastic.
It's cool because I was actually dreading this workout all last night and during class and the day today. I just thought it would be awful for some reason. Right before I left, I prayed that God would bless me with a better attitude and a capable body to be able to have a good workout and at least be encouraging to my teammates. I asked for this workout to not suck as much as I feel like it will (haha). But he went above and beyond and gave all of us an amazing workout with fantastic splits and a fun time with eachother. Awesome to see that goodness and continuous faithfulness play out right before my eyes.
