Good tempo run this morning. I was tempted to not do it and instead just put in 7 easy miles, but decided to just go and do it. Also, last night I was invited out to eat with work for a customer. Not always the best thing to do before a tempo run but I also thought it would be good in a way to run when conditions were less than ideal. Fortunately the weather was ideal. High 40's at the start , no wind, decent humidity. Did my usual tempo route going from my house to the start of Starkey Blvd for my warm up. Got going, hit the first mile a little bit too fast then settled into an even pace. Goal was 5 miles at 6:39 pace. Splits were: 6:19, 6:31, 6:28, 6:31, 6:28 This is about a 6:28 pace, if I could hold it for another 1.2 miles I would be pretty close to that 39:59 10K, I'll have to find out sometime.
Cooled down after the tempo portion with an easy paced run back home. Average pace: 7:18
