My 10k PR is 46:26, which is a 7:29 pace, and my target tempo pace for today was a 7:21 pace. I had tossed around the idea of running a 10k race this weekend, but decided that I didn’t want to reduce my miles enough to make a strong showing at the race.
- 1 mile w/u – 9:35
- 10k split – 45:14 (7:17 pace)
- 0.78 mile [rest of the 7 mile tempo] in 5:25 (6:57 pace)
- 1 mile c/d – 9:26
It was a fun little exercise, and I’m happy that I have my legs back under me after having a rocky week of workouts last week.

- Progressive Long Run (16 miles) while watching the game #twit2fit #running One of the things that's great about football season is that you can easily do a long run on the treadmill while watching the game. I did mine today at home on my Sole F80 at a 1% incline (watching the UofL-UK game). I've been doing my long runs at......
- Brother, that's some determination - streak day 12 #twit2fit Normally, I don't like comments from people as I run by them while I'm running the neighborhoods, but that's usually because of the "Run, Forrest, Run" style comments. It's probably part of the reason that I like running at 6:30 am. Well, today was different. A guy who was outside......
- Streak, Day 5: 2.81 miles in 27'01" #twit2fit Yesterday was a "tempo" day--a 1 mile tempo. Maybe that's an interval. Needless to say, I thought I could run a 7 minute mile, but I lost the pace at about 4/10 of a mile and struggled to keep a 7'20" mile. Coming off of that effort with a little......
- New Workout Type: Jogging Failboat #twit2fit I took my 8 month old for a 4 1/2 mile runjog in the jogging strollerfailboat. I'm already slightly unaccustomed to running in the sunny warm weather, running on hills, running without foam cushioning (used my Mizunos today). I decided to add to that a nice bulky jogging stroller......
