Today was my tempo run. I started at Sherman Beach. I did a one mile warm up. Then I did 4 miles at tempo pace with a two minute rest between. There was an emergency port a pottie stop partway through.
I'm not sure what my goal is for the half marathon. I would like to run a 2 hour half. This would require average pace of 9:14. This is what I was trying to hit for my tempo miles. I am not very good at hitting my pace. My warm up was 10:28 which was good. Then my next for miles were 8:37, 8:45, 8:44, 8:43. This was a little fast but at least I was consistent. For the cool down I ran 1.2 miles and threw some strides in. I felt good afterward but felt like I did a workout.
I got started after five. When I was on my cool down I realized that it was getting dark. I made it to the car before twilight. I won't have that problem next week when we have daylight savings time.
Jim did not run. He was at a friends helping him bottle wine. There are priorities.
