Tempo run

I ran my first temp run this afternoon. It seems that I had to pick the hottest day yet, it is still 81 out now.

Anyway, I completed the 5 miles in 44:46.

Warmup 1 mile 10:13

Speed 3 miles 24:25

Cool down 1 mile 10:08

My goal was to stay between 8 and 8:30 during the speed part, though until I saw the data I thought I was closer to 8:30. It was a pleasant surprise.
Tomorrow morning I have a nice easy 5 mile run, and then I will be shutting down until the race Sunday afternoon. Next weekend will be interesting as I am going back to Indiana for my wifes brothers memorial service. I am planning to run on Saturday and Sunday morning, but the temps there are supposed to be in the high 20's low 30's.
