Tempo Run - 5-13-09
Today I ran 5 miles. The first mile was at a very slow pace with the group (10:30 +).
I took off after mile one. Funny thing is that I never have anyone run with me after mile one, but today I had another runner trailing me. I did not know who it was and found myself speeding up (under 8:00 pace).
At the start of the third mile I noticed it was Chisty from the group (it was her first group run). She runs pretty fast and was not working on a pace so we ended up doing a pace of about 8:00 - 8:15 for the next two miles. We cooled down for the last mile (9:45 - 10:00 pace).
My legs felt great. I was a little out of breath, but not too bad. It was fun to be pushed on this run. I never feel like I give enough effort on Wednesdays. I guess we will see how I feel at Bootcamp on Thursday.
