7.0--slept in til 7:30am. Just couldn't pry myself off the mattress. I was frustrated knowing that i was just going out running when i should have been done already. Once i got running i just couldn't face another 10+ miles at a pathetically slow pace so i turned for home after the first mile. Decided to hit the track for a healthy dose of tempo running. started out planning on 5k on the track. hit 5K in 18:10 and then just kept going till i hit 4 miles in 23:17. first 2 miles were each 5:50 then i kind of lost track but i think there were pretty close to the same. i am glad i did the tempo instead of a long slow one. sometimes it is good to get out and run faster even when you don't feel like it, It seems to refocus me and build confidence better than 8-9:00 pace does.
7.5 miles after work
