Great tempo run today

Scott and I ran a 1 mile warm up run then a 7 mile tempo run. We ran an average pace of 7:37 mpm for the entire 8 miles. I felt really strong.

I’m looking forward to a 13 mile long run this weekend. The schedule is to run the 13 miles at 7:40 mpm(projected marathon pace(7:25) + 15 seconds). However, I’m going to try to run it at marathon pace. We’ll see how that goes.

Brian has some shin pain and will be cross training for the next couple of runs. It’s a good idea that he hold back and not run through injuries. We pray that he can heal soon to continue his running.

BTW. I weighed 175 pounds this morning after the run, eating breakfast and drinking 16 oz of water.
