Huntsville, AL: Warm and humid morning down here. Definitely hotter thatn I am used too lately. Today I planned on doing 4 miles at tempo pace around 6:40. I did a 3 mile tempo last week so wanted to step it up a notch. I started off with a couple of easy miles to get warmed up and felt good. After that ran the 4 tempo miles. The first mile took me a little while to get going but it still felt good. I felt a lot more comfortable on the 2nd and 3rd mile and just tried to stay relaxed. The last mile was good also but started to feel the effort in my legs. Overall it was a good run and I felt like I had definitely stepped it up a notch. Here are my spilts for the tempo: 6:40, 6:36, 6:32, 6:29. It is always good to have each mile go a little bit faster. This was a lot more consistent than the tempo that I did last week.
