Well after school today someone backed into my car so I had to stand around at the high school with the state trooper and all that until 4:10, and by the time I got to the rec and changed, I had less than an hour to get in my workout before 5:30 when I had to babysit. I stuck with my workout but had to shorten my warm up and cool down a lot. So .6 mile warm up, 3 mile tempo run, 1.3 mile cool down. My mile splits were 6:56, 7:03, 7:08 for a 21:07 3 miler (approx. 21:45 5k pace?). I felt like I was going really slow. That may have had something to do with the weather finally being so warm, I'm not sure. This was my first continuous tempo since indoor season though, and I remember now why I hated these so much. I would take a 10 mile run or any speed work over tempo runs, I don't know what it is!
