shortened tempo as I ran to car

I didn't wake up this morning to run, so I planned on working in another evening run. This time I planned on leaving the car at church so I could run to it just to get it. You know, no chance at wimping out.

It was still pretty warm out, but I forgot to check the weather before I left the house. Yeah, take away my merit badge. I ran what I surmised to be a 1 mile kind of warm up. Then picked up the tempo and ran at higher speed/pace for about 20 minutes. By then I was pretty close to the car, so my "cool down" was less than half a mile. I kept about an 8:16 pace for 2.5 miles ... almost 3 miles.

I'll have to see how my foot feels in the morning. I forgot to take ibuprofen. Maybe I'll get up and take it (but maybe not 800mg this time; how bout half?)

Total Distance - 3.80 mi
Total Time - 33:35
Tempo Distance - 2.50 mi; Time - 20:40; Pace - 8:16
