Total Distance

4.00

I was going to run a speed workout down on the treadmill, but when my daughter wanted to ride her bike while I run, I just couldn't turn down that opportunity. It was going to get dark soon so I knew it wouldn't be along run. I decided to do a "tempo" run. I really haven't done a tempo run since SGM so I didn't expect much

My plan was to run the first mile to warm up around 9:15. I then wanted to run my second mile around 8:30 and then the last two I just didn't want to die. I would run them as fast as my body would let me.

Mile 1 = 9:16

Mile 2 = 8:15

Mile 3 = 8:55 (had 1 major hill)

Mile 4 = 8:39

This wasn't much of a run, but it was a little moral victory for me. Hope things just keep getting better.

Yay! look at the splits, that is a perfect tempo run this early before the race!

Glad to see you're posting again. Nice job on the run.

Yeah Kim! There are a million reasons to take outside over the treadmill, but running while your daughter rides her bike along with you has got to be right there at the top! : )

Thanks guys...It felt good to finally run a good run....It had been a long time. I can't wait until I can hold my tempo runs for longer distances.
