Was hoping to get out to the Rock creek path today, but a wedding shower ended up being 6 hours and I didnt get home until 530. Really want to do that sometime though. Ended up warming up down to Fletchers boathouse, legswings and warmup and whatnot, and head off for an out and back tempo. Went 25 minutes out steady (started at a sign and went between 2.5 and 3, not sure exactly though, but probably around 2.6-2.7 or so. felt more on the slowish steady side though). Felt pretty good on the way back. Not sure if it was because of the downhill, good weather, or if I was just so eager to have a good day, but it ended up feeling SO good. Pace progressively got much faster as I went along, and ended up quite quick but still felt in control. I know it was a really short tempo, but felt so wonderful nonetheless, and was nice to feel out negative splits (which I've been lacking in races this season). Tired at the end but bounced back quite nicely. Jogged up back home for strength work!
