Today's Tempo Went Well

I knew before I started that I was not fully recovered from Weds. long run. But I figured what the heck! I'll try for a tempo run and see how it goes. It went better than I expected but I didn't realize that until I got home. The effort seemed pretty intense at times. I felt slow. I ran 4 miles in 39:15 for an avg pace of 9:50. Makes me wonder what it might have been if I were more rested?

As usual the beauty and animal activity on my favorite route didn't let me down. I have been noticing a lot of scat along the roadside lately. Wonder why they are doing it on the road. Are they sending we humans a message? lol Summer and Fall are definitely my favorite seasons although Spring and even Winter have their own unique offerings of beauty. I've never run outside through the winter months as I am planning. Whe it turns cold, I turn wimpy. It's almost a certainty though that I will find more to appreciate about winter as I experience it first hand rather than through a pane of glass or from an automobile.

Still a lot to do today. Paige has volleyball. We have cleaning and grocery shopping to do. And I need to finish my school work! The kids are mostly finished. : ) Catch up with you again after tomorrow's run!
