It's always funny when a group of runners get together and talk about taking it easy for the run and then the next thing you know a group takes off and is running faster. Well, that happened again this morning. It feels good though. I love our running community.

Was not planning on running 10. I wanted to get an easy 6 or 7 since I have a long run tomorrow. But the weather was great and I was running with Tris and I felt great. 6 turned in to 8 which is where we found a sweet trail along the lake that is perfect to run on. So that turned in to 10. It was a great run and I still feel good.

Did an afternoon tempo run along the lake today. I had read from Rachelle's blog that she did a tempo run with 3 miles fast, .5 slow, 2 miles fast, .5 slow, then 1 mile fast. I thought that was a good idea. What I didn't know was that I was going to be running in to a head wind of around 40 mph. That made my fast miles much harder, till I turned around. So each set of fast miles, half was in to the head wind and the other half was with it. It was a tough run and I was exhausted after doing that. It was still a good run and I am glad that I did it.
