I was looking forward to running outside after being sick and having to run on the treadmill for 2 long runs. Close to perfect weather out there. 50 degrees and mostly cloudy...not much wind until halfway into the run. @ High School track. 2 easy warmup miles then into the tempo run. Switched up after miles 2, 5 and 8 so as to get even running.Target for tempo was 7:22 but with being sick etc. wasn't sure...and it ended up being pretty tough but for some reason the last 3 were not bad and I pushed it pretty hard the last mile.
Lap Splits:8:46, 8:31, 7:27, 7:30, 7:28, 7:18, 7:18, 6:51, 8:48, 8:54 Easy run at the ridge tomorrow.
