Tempo

Hi All - on Tuesday, Phill and I ran an easy 2 miles.  We were also going to get some Yoga in, but that didn't happen because we felt like watching Fern Gulley with Shauna and Ben.  I think it was an excellent alternative.
 
Yesterday, Phill's knee was bugging him so I ran alone.  Even with the Garmin, I run too fast.  I couldn't help it yesterday.  My first mile was 9:00, second mile was 8:20, and my third mile was 7:38.  So, I am calling yesterday a progressive tempo. My heart rate at the end of the last mile was arond 160, so I wasn't pushing it too far. I also did 20 minutes of Yoga.
 
Today, I plan a very slow 2 mile run and hopefully some "pre-run" Yoga.  Friday, I plan another easy run but incorporate the Power Yoga video into my day.  I have the day off, so I hope to get this as soon as I wake up tomorrow. 
 
I've identified my next goal - I am going to "race" WVJS Valle Vista course on 09/26/2015. Valle Vista is 3 miles.  The first mile is hilly, the second mile has a few hills, and the third mile is pretty much all down hill. I don't have a time goal yet, but I'm sure by the first week of September I will have one. 
 
There is another mile on the track on 08/01/2015, which I hope to race as well - but it's tentative right now due to having a Visitor that weekend.
