Sometimes a tempo run just happens. I had off from work today. The temperatures were in the high 50s. The first mile went down in about an 8:25. Mile two was in at just over 8 minutes. I cranked down just a little bit and was running a 7:45 pace for the next three miles. Mile 5 to 6 was in at a 7:32 pace. I slowed my last mile down to an 8 min/mile pace.
Everything felt great. It’s nice to have a 7 mile run in a sub 8 minute/mile overall pace. I even did some community service and removed a bag of trash from the road.
