3.5 mile warm-up, 8 mile tempo, 3.5 mile cool-down. My leg felt good, but this was not a great run. I felt like I was going as fast as I could the whole time but was unable to run as fast as I thought I should have been able to. I was glad I didn't run the strider's half marathon because I would have gotten my butt kicked on this particular day. Splits for the tempo run were: 5:20, :16, :21, :21, :25, :20, :23, :41. AP: 5:23. I was hoping I could average between 5:15-20 and not feel like it was an all out effort. Oh well I would rather have an off day now than in a couple of weeks. I'm just glad my leg is holding up.
