Indy Mini W17D4 - TEMPO 5 The last hard run is done!!! I had to run this during my lunch due to commitments after work, which meant I had to cut my warm up and cool down short. I know this run is supposed to essentially just be a confidence booster before the race, so I wasn't too worried about it. When I started this run I just wasn't feeling it. I first told myself to just do 3 tempo miles and call it good. I'm not gonna make any gains between now and race day anyway. Once I got to 1.5 tempo miles, I told myself to just keep going and run out to 3 miles so I'll at least do 6 miles, but I can cut the tempo miles short and do a longer cool down to make it easier. But once I turned around at mile 3, I knew I could do all 5 tempo miles. The constant bargains that go on while I run amuse me sometimes :) Once I got over the ehh feeling at the beginning, I actually felt good on this run! Definitely come confidence boosting and now I'm excited to enter into the taper! I am really looking forward to race day to see what I can do :) Happy Friday!!! :)
