Notes
Set out with Rebel and Drew on the trail, tuned in for a easier recovery day on the flats and shadiness of the CV Nature Trail. Rebel began speaking of tempo and wasn't sure if my body was willing. Drew wasn't clamoring for one either so we just forgot about it. On the way back (after some casual jesting), Rebel proclaimed the tempo had started and accelerated slowly. I still wasn't sure how this would end up, but tempo's with Rebel seem to always go well. 10 min of 'effortless' tempo was a swell change from my recent focus on miles. The 2nd rep became a slightly different animal. We knew we were running out of real estate so this would be our last one. Ego's or adrenaline got the better of us and ended up going pretty fast by the end (This is one of those 1 in 20 runs where I would have liked having a gps just to know the pace). In the end, my stride and breathing felt great and I fared well compared to my higher mileage brethren.
