I ran six miles at lunch today. This time by myself. I wanted to push it more than I can with the other guys, so we're doing stuff tomorrow.
I'm running a 10k on Saturday, so I figured I should at least run the race distance before I go race it. I probably haven't done six miles for about two months. Lame.
I started out a bit faster than I wanted. The plan was to warm up a mile, run four at tempo, then cool down a mile. I felt a need for speed, so I took off a bit too quickly. After 1.5, I decided to break it up. So I ran two at tempo, one recovery, then two more at tempo, and another one to cool down.
Felt decent. The shins and calves were screaming the first two, but after the initial punishment, they recovered nicely and the second tempo felt awesome.
Beautiful day with a strong wind. Nice to run, sucked biking to and from work. Headwind every direction I turned. WTF?

Wow, a 6:05! Nice work!
That's good that you are running a race on Saturday...good to get back into it.
I hate those days when the wind does that. Darn you wind and your tricky directions.
Yes, excellent work with your tempo workout. I don't know how you can just bust out numbers like that whenever you feel like it. You are BomB!
Good luck at the race!
