Tempo Run today. 5 Miles. I didn't get up at my normal 5:00 AM as I usually do to run. My mind and body just wasn't in the right place to do so. I slept in until about 6:30 AM this morning. I nearly just rescheduled the run to this afternoon. I told myself that my bathroom scale would help me make the decision. I stepped on it, and was pleasantly surprised to find myself back down to 181, which put me in a good enough mood to go ahead and head out for the run this morning.
I hit the river trail again today, after stretching of course, and tried to keep my pace near 10:00 for most of the run. I wanted this to be a harder run, but not so hard that I couldn't keep the pace up for a distance. I ran a total of 57 minutes, and according to my watch, covered 5.75 miles. I do believe my watch needs calibrated, as I am pretty sure I only ran 5.3 miles today. The last mile I picked my pace up even more though, and was sprinting right before I finished up. I did a cool down lap around the park I started at, did some more stretching and headed home to get ready for work. I did have some pain starting out as noted below.
A great workout today though.
