I did my 11400 south loop. The first two miles were warmup. Then 5 miles at a faster (tempo) pace. Then cooldown for the rest. The wind was blowing 20-30 mph into my face on the first four miles. I was happy to run under 8 minute pace for the 1st and 2nd miles of the tempo run because of the wind and going slightly uphill. The next two miles were close to 7 minute pace on the downhill and with the wind at my back. The fifth tempo mile was a difficult one. My body ran out of gas. Some of the difficulty today was probably from also running out of gas yesterday. The average tempo pace was about 7:30-7:35. The average overall pace was about 8:20. I hope to improve on this in future weeks.
