Did the first of the tempo runs yesterday. It was good, inside at the gym since it is beastly cold outside still. I did a warm up mile and then proceeded to do an 8:44, a 9:07, and then a 10:04 , instead of the three 9:57s I was supposed to do. I obviously need to work on my pacing, I started out way too fast and then paid the price for it. The cool down mile was pretty plodding, but it felt really good to have it behind me.
I am really lucky that I have the gym at work to use. JLB doesn't have that luxury, and is a day or so behind in the schedule as a result (I keep telling him not to sweat it, that we're doing an extra long schedule anyway so its not a big deal, but his personality combined with the fact that this is the first training schedule he's ever tried has made him a little intense about it). It is supposed to start to warm up today, and to get into the 40s (though it seems hardly possible given the current temperature out there) by Sunday, so hopefully my next run will be out doors.
