Off the meds again today so I was doubting wether or not I would be able to run a tempo run today.  After a mile warm up I decided to just go for it and not get too crazy with the pace.  My usual tempo pace has been around 7:00/mile so I decided that if I kept it under 7:15/mile I would be doing pretty well.  Here are the paces:  8:34, 7:13, 7:04, 7:11, 7:05, 6:50, 7:48.  I decided to push it on the last tempo mile and get it under 7:00.  I felt pretty tired after this workout but not dead.  The pace felt like it was in the moderately hard range.  I was just happy to get in a tempo run again finally.

Time:  51:47  7:24/mile

Nice workout Jeff! I think you have a great shot at that BQ. Nice and easy to the top of Winchester, then you and Mark put the hammer down. Have a cheeseburger and milk shake ready when I finally come in.

Marc...Temps are hanging around the low 70s this week for the morning lows.

Mike...I think I will go to In-N-Out on Saturday for sure.
