Awesome workout today. It was pouring the rain, so naturally we went to carriage row (long dirt road) for a nice muddy tempo. 2 miles warm up, then an 8 mile tempo (4 out, 4 back) at target 7 minute pace. I've never done a tempo longer than 6 miles, so this was quite a jump and honestly I didn't think I could hold that pace. But it went so well, and I averaged 7:02, with a 6:55 steady last mile. It was hard because I was all by myself but I kind of enjoyed it. 1 mile cool down.
