Notes
8 mile run w/ 15 min tempo. Traveled 2.49 miles in 15 min, averaging 6:01/mile. Awful day outside; high wind speeds and lots of rain. But I felt a lot better mentally than I did yesterday. I completed the 15 min tempo, but I did stop for about 20-30 seconds on top of a hill to catch my breath. I haven't been this out of breath in a while, but considering high winds, rain, and a fairly large hill, trying to maintain my pace was certainly not easy. My heart rate was somewhere over 200 at that point, so I just had to stop. Within the next few weeks, I am expecting to get through these tempo runs without stopping.
