Day #17 - Bikram Tempo Run

I realized that I forgot to post the plan for this week. It is/was: 8 7 8 7 18 7 for 55 total. Of those, I decided that Tuesday would be at whatever pace I felt like, Wednesday easy, Thursday hill or tempo, Friday easy, Saturday Long, Sunday pace. Despite what I wrote yesterday, so far so good.

Today I set out from Pottruck for an 8mi run and planned to do 3 at tempo pace. I ran the Montgomery Loop, and basically did that, although with the heat (low 90s) I was dealing with at the start of the run, it may have been more of a tempo effort than tempo pace (I keep forgetting my watch! Must remember to bring). Even so, I felt pretty good about this workout. After an easy (hilly) warmup from Pottruck, I felt locked in for the mile from the Concourse down the hill from Belmont, and the two on MLK. Took it easy down the river path and back on Chestnut.
