Run #13 - Tempting Tempo

Today was a treat. My training schedule only required me to do a 2-mile tempo run. I didn't get up until 6:10!!! I did my new favorite route - uphill on the service road. At the 1-mile mark I stopped for a drink of water. Then I ran back downhill. What a deal! It was a beautiful, cool morning. I did it in 20:54. That's about a 10:25 minute mile, and that's pretty good! During the second mile I seemed to go faster with less effort. Hmm! That surprised me. The downhill slope was not that steep!

Tomorrow I have to do a 5-mile easy run. It will have to start before the sun rises if I am to get to work on time.
