Temp

I didn't have much time to squeeze in a run between work and Silas's bedtime, so I decided that we'd do the short version of the tempo run I've been doing recently. It's a 4.3 mile course, with a mile of warmup, .75 miles uphill at tempo pace, a left turn with another mile uphill, then a cooldown on the way home.

The tempo segment was a bit trickier than I remembered it: dodging trashcans and cracked sidewalk and pausing twice for pedestrians. I felt like I was running pretty hard, but we hit .75 miles in 4:57, which was slower than I remembered doing it in the past. I decided to bag the tempo and take it easy for the rest of the loop. After about half a mile, I remembered that I haven't actually done this run with the stroller before, which explains the navigation problems and the slow pace. Ah well, I still have that pleasant, post-tempo feeling in my legs, so it's not all a loss. Time for the run was 32:58.

Oh, and there's this.
