Week Minus 14 - Tempo

Goal: 7 mile run: 1 mile easy, 5 miles @7:44/mile, 1 mile easy
Actual: 8.13 miles: 1.4 mile easy, 5 miles @7:07/mile, 1.73 mile easy

Jogged down to the river path with three friends from the office; Susan, Raminder and Jana. Then took off on my own and did the 5 tempo miles at 7:07 pace, a good bit faster than the goal of 7:45. Jogged on my own back to the office.

After Friday's marginal performance for the 15-mile run, it felt really good to nail this one with lots of time to spare. Just hope I left enough energy for the interval workout on Wednesday. Weather was low 30's, sunny, with some wind. Didn't bother with gloves or ear cover and it was fine.

You were cookin'! I joined back up at the gym today--hoping to get in better shape despite the cold dreary weather.
