Tempo Run
Saturday morning Tempo's are back and I couldn't be happier. I have always loved tempo's out of Lincoln train station. For some reason, they always make me feel strong. This morning we had quite the tempo group aiming for 5:05 pace for 4.6 miles. It was Justin, Brad, myself, and MarK Coogan. It is always nice to have a world cross, multiple national team member, casual olympian in your group to help motivate your effort. He told us some quick stories about the old tempo's he used to run with the old Nike group he used to belong to. He just turned forty and runs like a 22 year old. I pray I am that fit when I turn forty. It will be nice if he makes the trip down from Exeter, NH, where he coaches track, a few more times to run with us.
here are the split's:
1 5:00
2 5:18
3 5:05
.6 3:02
4. 4:42
(nice and even haha)
total time = 23:07
Felt very good during the workout even with last night celebration at the Celtics game. They were leading the whole game and then decided turnover's and poor shot selection was the way to go in the last 5 minutes. Good work boys.
Back to packing for me. Tomorrow will be my last long run from clinton so let's hope the trails are in good shape.
