What a run today! I had a swim workout planned for today, but when I got to the pool for the 5am swim the pool heater was not working. Since I am fighting off a sore throat, I decided not to swim in the cool water. Some people decided to swim, the water wasn't cold, just cool. With that, I decided to go ahead & do my run workout. It was a Tempo run for a total of 5 miles. I did 2 basketball games at 4pm. After it was done I went for my run. It felt great & after I turned around after 2.5 miles, I picked the pace up coming back. For the next 2 miles I averaged 7:50 per mile. Now to some that doesn't sound to fast, but for me that is really good. Two weeks ago on my last Tempo run, my pace was about 8:50 for those 2 miles & it was only 4 miles total. That is a really good pick up in pace. It sure does make me feel like all these workouts are paying off.
Well, they were suppose to fix the pool heater today, so Thursday & Friday's swim are on as scheduled. Hopefully I will be able to get out on a bike ride Wednesday. Today was one of those days that makes sense when I tell people I have a set training schedule but it is in pencil. Always have to have a schedule that is adjustable.
