Notes

10 miles with 5@half marathon pace. 1 mi w/u, 7:44,7:49,7:33,7:42,7:39. Not too bad on the pacing. Very happy with this run as it had all of the ingredients of a tempo run that could go horribly wrong. After 6,000+ft of climbing in rain/sleet/snow on Sunday, my calves have fist size balls of tension and I'm exhausted. However, I was pleasantly surprised to feel myself get more comfortable with the pace the longer I ran. I think next time I'll be able to keep some solid 7:30's. I've been running so slow for so long, I've lost the confidence require to even attempt speed workouts. Mind you, a year ago my tempo runs were at a 7:20 pace but I'm not going to let that burst my bubble today.
