AM:  Easy run with Saskia this morning.   We did a repeat of Saturday's mess and I felt much better, though I do think it is down hill heading out and up hill heading back.  Avg Pace 8:51.

PM:  Met the group at the store for some tempo miles.....not sure we did a true tempo but we did  some fast paced miles.   We did a 3 mile warm up - 8:20, 8:00, 7:55 and then did the same loop as the fast paced miles - 7:22, 7:30, 7:33.  Pretty disappointed with the fast paced miles, the effort was hard and I never felt like I was in a rhythm, just pushing.   I am going to have to figure out how to run in the evening, it is a little different the early morning runs.   I was pretty miserable the second loop, but if I want to run faster, I have to run faster.  The key will be sticking with these workouts and then trying to pick up the Thursday workout as well.   Avg Pace 7:47.

I say that to myself all the time, "if I want to run faster, I have to run faster."

It is all about finding the time though for all these workouts isn't it? You did great! I think I have alot more time than you right now... although I do not have as much time as I wish I could have. When I go back to work, all you girls are going to kick my butt!!
