As I stated in my last post, I really didn't think my Tuesday "race" was very fair, as I had recovery in between the intervals. So this morning I headed to the track for my 4 mile tempo run, hoping to use it as my official MCM Mama goes Masters Virtual Race. I was all set, only to be surprised by Coach George who said it was so beautiful and cold, we really should run 5 miles at tempo. YIKES, my first 5 mile tempo run EVER!
The first two miles, I was ready to end it at a 5k, but somehow in the middle of the 3rd mile, things started to feel more comfortable and I could see the 5 mile finish! Here are my times from my garmin:
I'll use the last 4 as my official race to = 27:02 for 4 miles.
This was the first time I've ever run a 5 mile tempo and I was pleasantly surprised. Those hills have really toughened me up and it was a beautiful morning!! TGIF!
Oh yeah, here's the official race picture:
