Good morning (63) and a little humid.  I wanted to run last night to get in a tempo run but one daughter had a soccer game and the other had open house at her school so ran the tempo run this morning.  The plan for today was to ease into the tempo by running a couple of miles at MP then picking up to tempo effort.  I felt better today but I wouldn't call it great.  Still feeling tired.  Today was a day where I could have put off the tempo and just ran easy but I need to push myself more and get in these types of efforts even when I don't feel the best.  I ran 4 miles easy to start with then picked up the pace to MP for 2 miles then the last 3 at tempo.  Here are my splits: 7:06, 7:01, 6:49, 6:47, 6:34.  Turned out to be a pretty good run for not feeling the best.  Need to do more runs like this.
