After a brief warm-up around Sugar House park, I did a three mile tempo run with Ian. I wanted to run conservative and put a goal of running about 5:50's. It was pretty hot, we ran at 3:30 this afternoon. We came through the first mile 5:43, it was comfortable, mile 2 5:50, and mile 3 in 5:51. The heat got to me towards the end, but overall I was not that tired at the end. I am still struggling a little with some motivation, but I am glad to have gotten some quality in this week.
After talking to Bill tonight he has convinced me to run the 10 miler tomorrow with him, we are planning a marathon pace effort - should be interesting - I do not think I will have too many ill effects from today's tempo.
