Today was my Wednesday tempo run. Last week's ended up being the charlie horse run, so I was a little nervous that speed would be a trigger for me. But it wasn't, and things went great.
I did a slow warm up mile 10:15. The slow warm up miles seem to really help me when I'm doing tempos first thing in the morning.
My four miles at tempo were supposed to be 8:51. I was able to keep it between 8:15 and 8:40 all four miles. No potty breaks today. The last tempo mile felt like I was really working. It felt good because I knew it was helping me in the long run. I'm just glad it was the last mile.
Slow cool down mile was a 9:30 average. Then I walked 1/4 of a mile home, stretched & did physical therapy. |
