A Passion for Running

tired!

I made a last minute decision to hook up with Nick and Corinne for a lunch run today. They were doing a better than 10k tempo run. That’s a bit longer tempo run than I usually do (mine are usually in the 40 minute range) but I decided to give it a shot.

I forgot my watch so I was at the mercy of their devices. However, I was told we did the slightly longer than 10k route in about 50 minutes and at roughly an 8:00 minute/mile pace easily making it the most challenging run I’ve had since coming back from the injury (I gotta quit saying that!).

Now that I read that last sentence, it really wasn’t a tempo run. It was more of a marathon pace run. At any rate, for the most part I was happy about the run. Breathing was not to bad (except when climbing a hill at the end) and I was able to keep my cadence high and hold form.

But I am pretty sore and tired now…zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

On another subject, I’m excited about a post I’m brewing up to be called True Sources of Motivation. I swear it’s going to be a masterpiece but you’re gonna have to wait a couple of days!
