Run #17 - 2-Mile Tempo Run

Snooze Doggy Dog woke me four minutes before the alarm. UGH! I put him out and then proceeded to hit the snooze button three times. I figured it was OK since it was still dark outside and I only had to do two miles this morning. I drug myself out of bed and contemplated going to the gym vs. running outdoors. I chose the great outdoors. I ran it in 21:10:96. The first mile was effortless (10:27) and the second was a bit more difficult, but I got through it in 10: 43 (approximately). Not too bad! The average pace, overall, was 10:37. Last week's tempo run had an average pace of 10:25. Oh well - I can live with that. Anything faster than a 12-minute mile gets a grin from me!
