I took Jade on a tempo run with Will and me. It didn't turn out like I planned. I hope I am not pushing Jade too much. I told her we don't ever have to do a tempo run again. She said I could do whatever I want because she was there to have someone to run with. It just goes to show how nice Jade is.
Here's how the fast miles played out.
2:05--I thought we would average about 2:15, so I was surprised with this first quarter.
2:12--More of what I expected, however, I noticed Jade's labored breathing.
2:27--We were slowing down. Jade encouraged me to go ahead.
I stepped it up to a 2:08 for the forth quarter. By the fifth quarter, I was breathing pretty hard. My miles were 8:50 and 8:04.
Will enjoyed the run. He was examining the almost empty tooth paste tube for most of the run. Unfortunately, we lost it along the way. I thought for sure I would hear it fall. And I kept checking to see if Will still had it. We must have lost it in the last mile when I stopped paying attention to the tooth paste. |
