Today I wanted to do a tempo run and I actually did it.  I felt guilty for not getting any speed work done on Tuesday, since I missed track night.  Anyway, I felt good for some reason.  No aches or pains and No hunger pangs (a few saltines before heading out) so I had no excuses, well except maybe the wind.   Anyway I felt good over the hills of Druid Hills (where they filmed the house part of the movie Driving Miss Daisy).  I need to do this every week.  Someone make me do this.  :)

Great job getting out and doing a honest tempo run. You plan on hitting the next track night??

You should feel guilty for skipping track night. LOL I was so looking forward to reading about your races. I expect a good detailed report next week. I am doing all my running vicariously through you guys, so make it good.

Do the speedwork, Tim!!! LOL. Easier said than done sometimes.

Can't wait to read about your next track night.
