I truly can not believe that it is already July, the summer is flying by!! Happy July everyone! I feel bad that I pretty much haven't done one thing with my kids this summer but I am going to blame it on the rain over my negligence, just in case anyone asks why ;).
So, my very first tempo run this morning and WOW, I am tired. This by far was harder to me then speed work (at least the speed work I did last week). I actually got to bed early (about 10:30) last night so I got about 7 hours of sleep and I swear, the more sleep I get, the more tired I am in the morning, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?? So, I met up with Heidi who was also tired and we had a hard time getting started but finally agreed that it was time to get going. So, we did a mile warm up and then 3 miles tempo and a mile cool down. Then we got to "the corner" where we always stop and walk it out and decided to take a lap around the neighborhood to cool off a bit so that added another 3/4 of a mile in walking (not counting as distance though). I am tired and not looking forward to the next tempo run. Glad it's not until next Wednesday, but then we have to add another mile to it, oh well.......no pain, no gain!!
Splits: 9:01 (warm up) 7:42, 7:30, 7:22, 8:15 (cool down).
I found a quote yesterday that I like so I am sharing it (Not to copy cat Kelli or anything).
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give" ~Winston Churchill ( I likey this quote). |
