Thank Goodness...

Today I went for a little doozy of a run. I usually run Thursday night hills with my running group, but I have plans tonight so I decided to change it up. I found the flattest mile in Gig Harbor (NOT EASY!!) and went with it for the first tempo run of the year. Ok, so it was only 1 mile but it was a good 1 mile. And there will be lots more so I am being patient. Mile 1 = 9:42/(182bpm) Mile 2 = 8:49/(185bmp) Mile 3= 9:19/(182bpm) Thank goodness the tempo mile turned out to be 8:49. I was worried because every time I looked at my garmie it read 10:30ish. I KNEW there was no way in hell I was running a 10+pace. I am going out to dinner tonight with a girlfriend. I’ll try to eat good and limit the wine intake. Tomorrow : Weigh-ins
