AM - Thurs morning tempo with the club. Ran down from the house to get some extra miles in. Warm-up. Wasn't sure if I was going to do 5-6 miles of tempo. Asked Clyde if he wanted to go 6 and didn't get a commit so, I figured I would just shoot for 5 (thank goodness).  Haven't felt amazing this week so I wasn't too pumped for the run. 

Since Clyde showed, I ended up taking off a bit quicker the first mile than I normally do.  I usually keep it at  5:50-6:00 pace.  I also was wearing my Garmin 910XT and I can never get an acurate read on my pace compared to my Garmin 250.  The tempo ended up being decent - no big breakthrough. A little bit faster the last mile. Here's the spilts

5:41, 5:39, 5:35, 5:43, 5:28

Last tempo 7/17:

5:57, 5:39, 5:36, 5:42, 5:48

Clyde ran home right after and I cooled down with some of the group then ran home. 15 miles.

You looked pretty strong back there this morning man. Given the temps and stuff... not too shabby. We should have just done at least one more mile... if not 2. #wussedout

We did wuss out. We should have committed before we started the run. Oh, well. I'm planning on doing a progression on Sat so doing 5 today is fine.
