I opted for a short tempo run this AM in hopes that I could get in a second run during my lunch break to get my desired mileage for the day. I ran the short UAH loop for 4.3 miles. The temperatures were almost too warm (62 degrees), but rain was slowly moving into the area, so I wanted to get my run over with. I ended up running an average pace of 7:29 per mile, not too fast and not too slow either. I did realize that I need to make sure I keep throwing in quicker runs even with the hill repeats I've been doing. I wouldn't want to lose what little pace I have left;-)
