Ran a 4 mile tempo run today. My legs finally felt a liitle better this morning, I wouldn't say they had zip but at least they weren't dead like they have been the last few days. Wanted to keep the pace around 7:10/mile which would have been about the pace of my tempo run a couple of weeks ago. Ended up going a little faster than expected and I was pretty pooped by the time I finished. Here are the splits: 7:03, 7:00, 6:53, 6:59. I'm not sure what happened in that third mile, I did stop for gatorade.......maybe that stuff really works. I think once I set the bar for myself on that first and second mile I felt like I needed to maintain an even pace for the whole run. Really had to concentrate hard and try to relax on that las mile to bring it in even with the others. tomorrow will tell the story of whether I pushed too hard or not. Lots of extra stretching for me today.
Time: 53:51 7:42/mile
