Philadelphia, PA:  It was nice this morning.  The temp was in the mid 50's and their was some wind.  I felt pretty good getting going this morning other than the normal pain in the achilles starting out.  That got better quickly and then I felt good.  I did 3 miles easy for a warmup and then did 4 miles at tempo pace.  My goal today was somewhere around 6:45.  Here are my splits for the tempo:  6:41, 6:41, 6:36, 6:41.  It amazes me that 3 out of the 4 were the same.  Wasn't really focused that much on it but glad to keep it consistent.  I felt pretty good during the tempo but was pushing pretty good on the last mile as it was uphill and into the wind.  Cooled down with 2 miles back through the city.

Great job on the tempo run. Always great to not only be consistent, but consistently faster than goal pace.

Very nice tempo. It's cool when those miles roll out so consistently.
