I woke up and did not feel like running today. I was tired and it was raining. I needed to get some speed training in though. It's not often I have flex day off work and the kids are in school/daycare so I had to take advantage. I laced up my shoes and sat on the stairs willing myself to go out...lol!
I decided to go for 1 mile warm-up, 4 miles at sub-7min/miles (race pace) and 1 mile cool-down. Usually tempo runs are about 10 seconds slower than race pace but I decided to give er today. I wasnt sure if 4 straight at sub 7 was achievable but I figured I'd give it a shot and ended up averaging 7:01 :) Close enough!
Not a bad run! The sun came out and it felt great to have pushed myself to get it done despite the lack of motivation! I love the difference between the pre and post-run pics. It is a total visual representation of why I run!
