Notes
The slated pace (4:55-5:10) seemed pretty fast for a 30 minute tempo and I figured I would be closer to the 5:10 end of things (my 10k PR is about 5:00 pace). First half was into the wind and just slightly uphill, and I averaged about 5:18, the second half felt much quicker, but I was pretty tired by that point to really feel like it made it any easier. I ran about 5:10 pace for the second half. Overall, a pretty decent effort. I'm feeling pretty good, but definitely not fresh. The heat, humidity and long days of work don't help, but I'm having fun and finally back doing tempo runs.
