I did another tempo run. I can't believe how out of shape I am, but whatever. Nothing is lost that I can work to get back... eventually.
Pretty humid today--79%. But, it's very cloudy and a wonderful breeze. It's a lovely 79 degrees that feels like 82 (so I am told). Needless to say, I was dripping sweat when I was done.
I pushed the run, probably more so than a true tempo run. It felt good to go fast. I tried to treasure the moment since it will be a while until before I'll feel fast again. I did pay for the fast pace a bit. A half a mile into my cool down, I felt pretty sick. But, the sickness has mostly subsided now (thirty minutes after the run).
Here are my mile splits.
8:31--a bug flew in my eye
8:39--finally got the bug out
8:33
I really enjoyed the run. I hope to squeeze in a few more tempo runs before I become too slow. We'll see what pans out. |
