Tempo, Tempo, Tempo

I'm trying to keep up with this folks, I really am. Life has been a little crazy lately with the new training starting and with me gettin sick a couple weeks ago. Work has been so busy lately too, I hardly find time to keep up with it all. Since getting over the flu, I have been a morning run person each day, and have started to pick up about 3 miles at night on top of any lifting or cross training. Those are mostly for the dog to get exercise since she sleeps most of the day. I figure bumper sessions in the morning, at lunch, then 3 miles at night is a good regiment for anyone.

Found myself about a minute short of my 10 minutes at 10k pace this morning on my run, hopefully attributed to the fact that I did 6 with my running group last night and really brought the speed the last two miles. Me and Paublo probably erased a 1/3 of a mile deficit to a couple pretty good runners in about a mile or so, then he faded on the last hill, and me and another guy finished neck and neck. Don't get me wrong, I'm not there to race, but after being sick last week and really not looking very fit in front of my new running friends, I wanted to show that I do have some skill. The key word being "some".

Off day tomorrow. Enjoy.

I did not realize you ran with a running group, Kal. That's cool. Hope you are feeling 100% soon!

I just started last week Chooch. The miles I run with them, or the ones with the dog, which are slow, are the only extras I'm picking up during this training. I'm sticking to my program besides that.
