Tempo Tuesday

Great tempo run today except for the fact that when I got home my Garmin totally went dead ... as in won't turn on or charge.  It may have finally ran it's last mile with me! (more on that later)

            Course:  Downtown LS Out & Back
                Miles:  12             
      Total Time:  1:28:25
        Avg Pace:  7:05/mile for last 10 miles
            Avg HR:  168
         Workout:   Tempo Run
               Temp:  62 Degrees, Humidity 65%, Wind 4SSE



Last 10 mile paces after 2 mile warm up:
7:53     7:23     7:05     7:03     7:03     7:02     6:53      6:53     6:52     6:49


All in all a pretty good run for where I'm at right now.  Felt strong and smooth and never really had to "dig in" and push to keep pace.  Probably could have been a little faster, but for now it's fine.
... be great today!

  1. Fantastic Tempo Jim! You are very ready for that sub-3. Tempo runs are the way to go to get you there.

    What kind of Garmin do you have? I have the 205 and it dies on me quite frequently. Once I reset it it is usually good to go for a few months.
