Night Tempo

January 8, 2011 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Cold Cold Cold

Comments:
Went out a little after 9, definitely coldest run of the year, temps were probably mid 20's wind chill making it in the teens. Felt controlled for the majroity of the run except when my thoughts drifted elsewhere somewhere around 3 miles, when I "came back" I realized Id slowed down and picked it up just enough so it felt like I was going a little faster than tempo pace. Wind was not helping with this, running right into for the last mile, pain in the ass. Last 300 opened my stride all the way and increased speed to about 90%, felt very nice. Overall a nice run. Quicker than usual, haven't gone on too many night runs and it was very quiet out, love the feeling that im the only person in the world outside. Probably gonna get up early in the morning to do a semi long run. Pretty good week alla round, nice mileage, mostly quality workouts too.
