Notes

Wanted to run this as a tempo run, rather than a race, which I figured meant running at around an 8:00 pace. I managed to do that exactly from a time perspective, but my effort level wasn't consistent. Started off fast, knocking off the first 2 miles in 15:10, and then slowed down quite a bit. Walked a little at 4 miles, and then finished it off.

Was sort of disappointed at how bad my legs felt during this run. They were heavy right from the start, and my shins were acting up pretty badly throughout as well. I've had too much speed work lately, and my shins are telling me to knock it off. Will try to get through the next couple weeks alright, then take some nice easy days.
