Scheduled: 2 Miles Easy + 2 Miles Tempo (7:52/mile) + 2 Miles Easy.

I thought the warm up was 10-20 minutes and the cool-down was 10 minutes.  I forgot the workout called for 2 Miles up front and 2 Miles on the tail end.

Anyway, I ran a mile warm-up at 8:49/mile.  The two mile tempo portion done as scheduled at 7:50/mile (two seconds faster than what run called for).  Then I walked for two minutes and finished the run with a mile cool-down at 8:55/mile. 

Last week when I tried this run, I only got 1.55 miles done at the correct pace.  I held out today, paced properly, and got the full two miles done on pace!  And this in 93 degree weather which feels like 99 degrees given the humidity.  I’d say today was an “A” workout!!

Also of note, I ate four Special K Pastry Crisps (200 calories, 40 grams carbs) about a half hour before the run.  Drank water throughout the day today.  Had a Blueberry muffin post run. Skipped breakfast today though...a work in progress.  I am working on developing a meal plan.
