Don't know if I should be happy or disappointed (kind of an AW)
Today, I was supposed to do a 4mile tempo run. I don't have a Garmin or anything fancy, and was just going to run a one mile loop four times and check my pace each loop. After a short warm up, I set off on my first loop. I was pretty out of breath and a little too fast so I tried to slow it down a bit. After the second loop, I was exhausted and my left shin was killing me, so I headed home. I totaled 2.96 miles in 28:09, or a 9:33 pace. My tempos are supposed to be around 9:55 ish a mile. Not a wonder I was tired, but not sure why I was going so fast! I haven't run 3miles that fast since cross country in High School. On one hand, I'm thrilled that I was able to run that fast, on the other hand, I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to slow myself down for some reason, and get in my full 4mile tempo.
On a side note, I think my feet and shins are ready for me to bust out my new shoes!
