I did my first tempo run today for about 3 miles. Wow. I wasn't even this winded and drained on my last long run. I ran 21 blocks in my neighborhood, alternating between a slow jog and a fast - almost sprint paced - run on each block. Jog a block, run a block. For 21 blocks. It was Not. Fun. But at least it was over relatively quickly.
What made it extra not fun was that I feel like I'm starting to get sick. The last thing I wanted to do this morning was peel myself out of my cozy bed and layer up to run in the 40 degree dawn. But I did it. It sucked, but I did it.
Tomorrow or Sunday, depending on weather, will be a long run. I'm going to shoot for a bit more than last week but don't want to push it.
Tonight - the couch and my sweatpants are calling my name.
Way to go Laura!!! That is AWESOME!!
