not giving up on the comeback

the kids had a playdate and my wife was working so I had a few hours to kill.  What else am I going to do but run?  I just took it easy and chugged along for a while.  My stupid watch buttons stopped working last night for some reason...so I timed it the old fashioned way.

7.3 at 7:55 pace

just cruised along and got a few miles in at work 

86 deg with a little cloud cover - it wasn't too bad out there today

4.4 - 7:10 ave pace

PM

felt great -

first run in my new shoes.  They will work just fine!
finshed just before the rain

 4.45 in 7:10 pace again - weird

twenty minute tempo run on tap today - the first one in a long while. 

I went out earlier than normal this morning (not early for most of you)- tried to hit it before the heat of the afternoon.  i think a half an hour earlier would have been easier.  but all thing considered it went ok. The overall pace was a little over my desired tempo pace but that will come to me.  (6:32 first, 6:15 2nd, and then 6:20something for the 3rd.1) -- all over the place on pace. 

4.9 for the warmup and cooldown  around 8 min pace

3.1 tempo 6:26 ave pace

Afternoon - 4.5 7:20 pace  - felt ok - not sore from yesterday's tempo

 PM  - 5.3 7:22 pace  - felt good again and just cruised it along.  

I didn't quite plan my day well , so I started out hungry.  I managed to finish this very hilly route standing up...argh

10.7 at 7:49 ave pace 

really busy with cub scout picnic stuff - no miles

I got lots of sleep last night.  The weather was really nice today - cloudy and in the high 60's at the start.  I felt good today and just wanted to keep a nice even pace for the whole while.  In the downtown area I passed a couple hundred girls waiting in line for tryouts for the America's Next Top Model.  There were lots of interesting outfits, for sure.  I got to the turn around right around 1:00:20 or something.  Luckily the sun stayed in for most of the rest of the run.  I pushed in the last 20 min to keep the pace pretty even for the whole run.
