T-E-M-P-O

What's it Spell? Tempo. Today marked the first day that I have tried a Tempo run in earnest since starting back running. Truth be told, I have been avoiding them. They are not nearly as satisfying to me as the Long slow run nor as glamourous as the weekly speedwork. However....it turned out mighty nice. I think it is the biggest flaw in my training right now. A lot slow and long and a lot short and fast. I need to bring those two ends in a lot. Warmup Mile 7:11.............Mile 2 & 3 were the tempo miles (from Ike to Joy and J's House on Summitview) 6:37, 6:34...1/2mile recover at 7:28 pace..then another 6:30 mile and finised w/ 1.5 at 7:27 for cool down. Going to try & push the pace a bit more now.
