PM- 8 miles w/10 minute LT tempo. Goal tempo pace: 5:30. Achieved pace: 5:41. Got up too late to go running on my own this morning so I ran after honor orchestra on my own. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I went into green springs and didn't even start my tempo until 4 miles into the run. Not the best idea. My watch was showing my pace anywhere from 5:33 to 5:48 throughout the ten minutes, although the computer says I ran much much slower (which is why I am starting to not like the Nike watch for fast timed runs), so that's what I'm basing my average off of. I'm hoping the computer is wrong because I felt like I was going speed demon fast! Plus it was mostly downish hill. I feel like I pushed really hard and stayed mentally in it. After my 10 minutes, I stopped for a second and then ran to 8 miles. Never again will I run one of these on my own. So many people honked and cheered for me today that I don't even know with an exception of Nick. Guess it's the neon shorts
