Temp at home 43. Temp at HS track. lower, but not sure how much. It was pretty cold. Didn't bring gloves so my hands froze the first 2 miles. 3 days off plus being sick yesterday killed me today.1.5 warm up then 3 mile tempo. HR was way higher than normal. (avg. overall was 157) once I got going on the tempo run it settled in between 170-173 at least 5-8 higher than I would have liked. Pace was not that good either for a tempo run, ending with an avg. 7:45. It didn't help that there was some work going on around the grounds and the fumes from the exhaust was killing me too. It did feel good to be out there though. Changed my Marathon this year to the Newport, OR May 30th as my little bro. is going to be running his first there. Weight is down to 170. Hope to get to 165ish before the marathon.
