Tempo and Miami Running Group

Wed

Distance: 5.1 miles
Duration: 38ish
Tempo: 6:19

It has been so hot down here lately that it is difficult to be at the pace i was last week, but I think with more hydration I can work through this tough week. Tempo slower this week but still a surprising time. I managed to keep running after my tempo was done this week, which felt really good.

Duration: (3.5 miles) 24:45
Shoes: none

Ahh it felt so good to shed my shoes tonight and freak some people out on the boardwalk tonight. I think it has been all the hype on the news and the last few posts that you have put on here that just made me want to break out of my vibrams. The run overall was great, I tried to watch my tempo a few times i was in between 160-170 so i need to try to get that up. But again hot out, but I think I remained a great pace, who knows if the run was really 3.5 though.

A great observation i had today, after reading on a blog about how the running and fitness population rises when the economy falls. Is running people are great, they come from all areas of life. young-old, fast-slow, skinny- heavy, bald-hairy, and so on. One thing that really hit me today is I have no idea what alot of these people i am running with do as a living and i like that, no one brings their business out to the run, we just run because we like to run.
