Today's schedule: 30 minute tempo run. I really don't like tempo runs so it was on my mind all day long. Got home, helped the hubby mow the lawn then changed to go running. Wouldn't you know, a wind storm started up. I stood in the house trying to decide what do to....Treadmill....outside.....treadmill...outside....I decided to attempt the outside.
I didn't realize how hard it could be to run into a head wind, thought I was going to kill myself on the warm up. Next 3 miles I thought I was going to die. In fact, I had to stop after each mile, catch my breath and then start back up. During the 3rd mile I had to stop at the top of one big hill, catch my breath and start again. I did turn my watch off...so the times are better then they really are.
9:16,8:05,8:31,8:49 and cool down of 8:50. My cool down mile was the easiest because I was now running down hill and I had a tail wind. |
