Nice Tempo

Today was a great day for running. A stiff breeze out of the west but not too bad, a mix of sunshine and clouds, and a temperature of 70 degrees. I ran 6.7 miles and included 30 minutes of tempo running. During that time I went 3.65 miles and kept the pace at 8 minutes or below most of the time. All in all it was a good tempo, especially considering I've been up since 4 a.m. due to the dog. I felt like taking a nap when I got home, but I told myself to treat it like I was running at 6:30 instead of 5 p.m. Guess I'm good at fooling myself since it worked.
