Tempo run today during my lunch break on the treadmill (1.5 incline).
I was feeling under the weather this morning and my mom contacted me right when I got to work to say my dad was in the hospital. It sounds like he is doing ok and I will probably head home to visit him tomorrow. All things considered, I wasn't expecting a good workout today.
I was surprised that the workout went very well. 1 warm up mile @ 9:00 pace, 6 miles @ 6:44 pace, 1 mile cool down @ 9:00 pace. I still had a little bit left in the tank when I finished and this was much easier than the last tempo run when I could only run 4 miles at this pace. Maybe it was the shoes (Kinvara vs Guide 5).
This was a confidence booster for Saturday's race. |
