10 km Tempo run along Lakeshore

Hi everyone,

First Wednesday Run night with the Marathon group - a 10 km tempo run. Tempo runs are at 85% of your race speed with no walking breaks (other than stops for traffic lights, of course). This is the longest tempo run I have completed in a couple of years and, I have to tell you, it was tiring but I have a real sense of accomplishment in doing it.

Recently, the instructor of my 1/2 Marathon Clinic asked us all to provide our top five running songs and this evening, the fifth choice on my list came up as I finished the run. So it gets the nomination for the Song of the Run - Back on the Chain Gang by the Pretenders.

Back at it tomorrow night with the Marathon Clinic.

Paul
