Notes
Great run this morning.
Not sure why these tempo runs intimidate me. I get into the first mile of a tempo and panic if I'm off 10 seconds. I always end up getting my goals and then some.
Mile number 8, which was on my recovery/cool down was the easiest mile I've run in a long time and felt like I could run it forever. Looked down and saw 8:11 on my watch. Great.
As for the tempo part. My scheduled pace for the middle 4 was 7:32. I hit that overall (4 miles 30:03 for a 7:31 pace) and the rest I just went with what felt 'easy' at the time.
Next challenging day is Friday with a 10 miler w/ 8 miles at MP (8:00)
Oh, yes...9 rabbits this morning.
