Pace: 9:00

Observations:

  • Tempo run on the treadmill

Conditions:

  • Snowing
  • Moning run

Take Away:

  • Since I don't know how to utilize my Garmin watch well or ratherI don't enjoy hearing it tell me my mile marker and pace as I run, tempo runs are difficult for me to do well outside. Running on the treadmill is easier to know that I am incresing my speed over distance.

  • My legs were tired from my long run yesterday. Surprised that I was under 10 minute pace.
