First tempo run in a while #twit2fit

5.68 miles in 48:54.2, or 8:37/mile.  3 mile tempo, target pace:  7:30/mile.

This was my first attempt at a tempo run in a while (one where the “tempo” portion lasted over 20 minutes.)  My conditioning is still lacking, and my mental will to finish the 3 mile tempo just about broke down the second half of the tempo portion.

I may need to race to force the issue.

Elevation: +730.1 ft / -725.4 ft / net: 4.7 ft

  • Mile 3.5 smells like nuoc mam, mile 4 like jasmine #twit2fit /caption] Among the smells that fill the air in late spring, some are less pleasant than others.  There must have been some magical combination of garbage day, warm weather, and fresh rain, which made the air smell like fish sauce.  Not just any fish sauce, either.  My heritage has acclimated......
