Week 12 - Tempo run

Today's run sucked. I went out too fast and burned myself out and had to stop after 25 minutes (3.18 mi). I then walked for 5 minutes (to prevent my lungs from exploding) and started back up again. I was able to complete 6 miles in total, though I can't remember how long the second part of my run went, though most of it was at a pace in the low 8's.

So it seems that I have once again become preoccupied with speed and not distance. This weekend's long run should be a good indicator as to how many miles my legs are good for, as I'm planning a 20mi outing. If I struggle at that, things don't look good for Cincy.
