Thursday August 14 (pm) - 7M - Tempo

This was the most encouraging run of the entire summer.

For several days now, I've been doing relatively solid runs: 10M on Sunday, fairly quick daily runs, and a track workout on Tuesday. So it wouldn't have been surprising if I felt really dead-legged tonight, heading over to Fresh Pond for a little tempo work with the boys.

Instead, after a long 2.5M warmup, I felt pretty good. I ended up running the not-quite-2.5M loop in 14:13, running with Tom and Jonathan the whole way. Even felt like pushing a little bit up the hill. Thats better than 5:50 pace. And it was quite humid. and I was wearing normal shoes (not race or tempo shoes).

Last night I tried a cold water bath, I was feeling so good.

Day 7M
Week 25M
Summer 402M (500 is definitely within reach!)
