Extreme Tempo Run

Ran my neighborhood 2.4 mile loop in 20:05, which is a wicked record. I set out to run a record -- not quite race pace, but fast. This was a time trial for me to guage my odds of doing a 5K record next week. I ran this same route in 25.36 on february 1 as a season opening slow outdoor run. My previous record on the route was 21:40 last September.

I just tried to keep my legs moving fast.

Afterward, I was hocking up gobs of thick sticky allergy phlegm.

Overall, I am very encouraged. This is was a sub 8:30 pace.
