I had HUGE tempo success on Wednesday! I have decided to alternate speed intervals and tempo runs. Last week I did intervals so this week was a tempo run. I was not quite sure if I could do it or not, since it was dark out, but I borrowed Ken's headlamp again. Once again, it looked pretty cute!
Here are my splits. First off, I am not going to always post these, but when I am proud, I am just proud and will post them!
mile 1 - 9:15 warm up
mile 2 - 9:14 still warming up
mile 3 - 8:42
mile 4 - 8:04
mile 5 - 7:58
mile 6 - 8:29 cool down
.50 - 4:13 or 8:28 mile pace
Alright, who is the girl that ran a mile in 7:58! I was trying to keep the pace around 8:40, since my goal marathon pace is around 9:09. Wow, this run was a huge confidence booster. Also, who runs an 8:29 mile to cool down? Not this girl. I am not sure where that pace came from, but it was very easy. I am really, really hoping that I can run a four hour marathon in a few weeks. I mailed my entry form today, so it is official!
