Ran in the late morning down in the river bottoms. Plan was to do 4 mile tempo run in the middle of the run on my slightly-downhill-usually-with-a-tailwind course that I did a few week ago. I had a slight headache during the morning so I wasn't sure how things would go. Goal pace was 6:30-6:45. Felt good the first mile (that has the most downhill) but then winds kicked up and I had a stiff headwind instead of the usual tailwind and I didn't feel good for mile 2. Decided to bag the last mile and be content with 3 mediocre miles. Was only planning on 8 or 9 miles total but ended up locking my car keys in the car so I had to run back home and ended up with just over 10. Had an upset stomach thru the afternoon.
Splits/aveHR: 6:34/164, 6:57/182, 6:57/186 Overall: 7:49/162 max 187
