Tempo day - 77 deg and barely any wind. 

Two miles of warm-up.  I went to the Druid hills area to see how my tempo pace felt on the hills. Last year I did a couple of my tempo runs here and I wanted to see how it went this year. 

I settled into a nice pace and tried to hold it.  I didn't look at my mile splits.  I was at 12:24 for two miles and then 24:39 for 4 miles.  The last bit is a decent rise so I was pretty gassed at the end.  

Two miles cool down

Tempo  - 4 miles - 6:10 ave pace

PM - 4.45 miles recovery run 7:35 pace

Fly - I don't really know how to do a recovery run I guess. It'll need some practice.

Smooth - thanks!
