Hey my first post on here! :)

This was a week of short miles but increased intensity.  I had a good race last weekend and got inspired by a REALLY fast guy to do something more. 

This run was late in the afternoon after working at home in front of the laptop all day.  I didn't feel great but did it.  2 miles at 7:15 pace for warm up and then 4 miles tempo.  The first two were a bit slow going into the wind 6:50's but at the turnaround I decided to keep it going and try to take that average down closer to the prescribed pace.  I ran faster with the wind at my back.  Average pace was 6:40 or something.  Anyway it was my first tempo run since early November.  DONE.

4.4 in 30:57 at work - felt fine.  Low 7:10s pace I guess.  Wind on the way out and with me on the way back to work.  These short runs aren't so hard to get up for...

woke up feeling like a cold was coming on - and it got worse from there.  Felt decent the first 7-8 and then I started to crash.  I did what I could to do the planned distance.  I figured it was good HTFU miles.  Ave pace 8:05
