Thursday Tempo

I’m catching up on some ports from the past several days.

On Thursday, Brian and I ran a 5 mile tempo run at projected marathon pace.  We both ran it very fast.  My pace was 7:27 for the five miles, which is the pace I hope to run Chicago.   The tempo run was difficult.  At the end of the run I could not imaging having to run 21.2 more miles at 7:27 pace.
