day two

Well today was my tempo run. Two miles at 8 minutes per mile. i normally run a 5k at 8 minute miles, but havent been running at that pace for that far for a while. I had been dreading it all day making up excuses in my mind giving myself an out. Well, 7:00 pm arrived and it was time to run. i warmed up with a 1/2 mile jog and then set out to get it over with. I felt really good on the first mile and ran a 7:50. The second mile was a little harder, but i crossed at 16:08. so i averaged 8:04, not bad. i kept running for a 1/2 mile longer and then walked a lap and a half. I finished with a 1 mile jog. All in all, I felt pretty good. now i have to run 4 miles on saturday.
