A straight-forward tempo quarter marathon today (10.55km), peaking at better than 5km PB pace (4:48/km) and feeling great with it. Total time was 66 minutes. To break 2 hours for the half next weekend I need to go twice as far and 10% faster. I think I can do that. I'll certainly be disappointed if I can't at least run a PB (2h05).
Anyway, I love these tempo runs - they're like a warm up/intervals/sprint/cool down session all rolled into one, adn this one felt great. I really think I've got my running mojo back. Just call me Austin.
