3 mile warm up at 4:50 a.m

8 mile tinman tempo at 5:58 min mile avg

2 mile's nice and easy cooldown= priceless

I wasn't sure about this workout today because yesterday my legs were pretty sore and I was totally trashed. I figured I'd warm up with the guys and then kind of work into it and basically let them go off. We did the warm up and I felt ok. Then started the tempo and Dave and I eased into it chit chatting and hitting a 6:13 and 6:12 first couple miles. Logan was long gone. Then I stared to feel pretty good and started to work the pace down as we got across the river and up to the Costco road. Once on the road and trail I knew I needed a couple faster miles to get the avg back down and the legs responded nicely bringing me back up to only a second or so behind Logan by the bridge at River Road.

Overall a pretty good workout. We had some rain last night which dropped the temps about 10 degrees so that was the good. But it did make things kind of sticky this morning. But I'll take the sticky over the oven. Happy to have it in the bank.  

6.5 miles tonight around the middle B-hills loop. It was 104F but there was a slight breeze and a cloud here and there so it wasn't too bad. That is until I got home and then I started to feel pretty dehydrated and overheated. Glad it's done and that I have lots of cold Gatorades in the icebox.

Awesome workout! There is no way I could hit that pace at that time in the morning. Looking very strong for SGM!
