Comments:
Got the idea from my stalking of Waldt's log to try a tempo. But still wanted to get decent mileage in so I did something Ive always wanted to accomplish, a 5 miler at sub 7 pace. Ive tried before but it failed miserably. Not so today. 1 mile-6:14 2-12:38 3-19:50 4-26:40s? (right around there)5-33:32. Quite proud of myself for this. Hardest miles were 2 and 4. Entire 2nd mile was running straight into the 30 mph winds plus a hill nbd and 4th mile had 2 hills both the size of laferdis in it. Made sure to pick it up in the 3rd mile to make up for the 2nd, sprinted for the last 350 or so as I wasnt sure if I would make it under 35. Very hard run, but very pleased with myself. Let myself fall into the grass as I finished, just layed there as cars looked at me haha. Havent felt this happy in awhile.
