Notes
Good tempo. Was never really laboring during the first 15 minutes, kinda mentally gearing myself towards digging out a good 10 minutes in round 2. An honest effort and decent pace considering the solo effort and the rain. Not to mention the fact that last weeks tempo on a flat track was horrendous, todays tempo on some rolling terrain was A-okay!
Also ran faster than tempo pace in the final 10 through effort alone and no real gauge on pace. Guess I am building the mental toughness needed for the longer distances.
EDIT: In a pair of brooks trainers if that helps my case...
