I had a tempo run today. The conditions were perfect, 48 F, partly cloudy, no wind. I ran the slightly hilly residential 2-mile loop close to campus a few times, the same where I blew my 2 x 2 mile tempo last week. Not this time: I ran the first 2-mile interval in 13:33 (6:46 pace), and the second one in 13:30 (6:45 pace). Already ran 27 miles this week including a track workout (which went equally fine) and a tempo. Today gave me quite a bit of confidence, but all my weekends are 100% busy with family. There is no way I can race until after April 25.
