If this is Tuesday. . .

. . . it must be a Tempo.

I find myself looking forward to my Tuesday tempo runs. If I just had to run 3 miles, I think I'd be bored. I like forcing myself to pick up the pace. Last week I didn't wear my Garmin and ended up short by about 1/10 of a mile. Today I wore the Garmin and stopped the timer at 3.4 miles.

I felt I started easy, but I'm finding that I have alot to learn when it comes to "feel." What I should do is start out purposely s l o w. Anyway, here's my splits. I tried to hold the faster pace for 15 minutes. Since the garmin tells me mile splits, it's kind of hard to tell. I'm aiming for more of a parabola than a tabletop.

Lap 1 9:38
Lap 2 8:48
Lap 3 9:30
Lap 4 9:33 (.40miles)

Total Distance: 3.4/ Total Time: 31:48/ Avg. Pace 9:20

MTD: July 124.88 miles
