I ran my Tempo Run in the afternoon for the first time. It was about 1:00pm and around eighty-five degrees.This was a five mile run and I did my usual route from my office, but this time I went across the Ashley River Bridge on the left side (bad decision)...
I did a slow first mile to warm up (10:10). I picked it up for the middle three miles (8:31, 8:40, 8:32). Mile three was a little off because I ran out of sidewalk on the other side of the bridge and had to run in the grass next to speeding cars (that was fun). I finished the run with a slow cool down mile (10:56).
I was shooting for 8:32 pace, so I was pretty happy considering the heat.
