Wednesday, Feb. 16th . . . tempo day

After a 20 min. barefoot warm-up outside on grass (local football field), I laced up the Nike XC's and ran for 40 min. including 800 meters at 5k pace, into 1 mile at 5k pace, into 800 meters at 10 pace, then a cool down.

I'm starting to slowly get into race pace shape and I'll start with 5 mile race this Saturday. The goal is to treat it like a good tempo run and not all out. I'll shoot for a pace range between 6:30 - 6:45. These types of races are perfect as I start to get back into 5k race pace shape.
