Tuesday 3; Thursday 6

Catch up on Tuesday. Life happened, so I didn't get to run during lunch. Yes, it was beautiful outside too. So after work, I met Glynis at the gym. There I changed into my running clothes and then I ran on the treadmill. Yes, it was boring, just as treadmill runs tend to be, but it was only 3 miles. I set the incline on 2.0 and the speed at a pace of 9:34. It seemed a lot harder than I thought it should be. Definitely a lot of sweat.

Thursday at lunch, ran the scheduled 4 mile tempo run. It was warmer and nicer out than I thought it was going to be. There was plenty of sunshine with a temperature of 48 degrees and a 8 mph wind from ENE. The tempo run was hard. I was definitely pushing myself to keep the pace. The route was the same as last week's 3 mile tempo - along the roads to Kyle Park, around the ball fields, and back on the bike trail. The additional mile came from continuing down the trail to the far side of the bridge past the nature center. A lot more sweat. What a workout!

Total Distance - 6.10 miles
Warm up distance - 1.05 miles; Time - 9:34; Pace - 9:04
Tempo distance - 4.02 miles; Time - 32:36; Pace - 8:06
