I did my first tempo run for 2016 this morning. It was a good paced 5k - I was targeting 6'00" to a kilometer (0'45" longer than my average) but ended up doing an average of 6'15". Was still pretty pleased with the effort. I did feel pretty winded at several points where I had to stop and take a breather. Allowed myself about 10 seconds here before taking off again. 5k in 31:27 - not my best but definitely up there.
I felt so awesome that shortly after the run I did a bit of impulse online shopping and got myself some new running gear. Yay! I think there might be a new post on the blog once they get here.
Now, nine hours later, I am really feeling the workout - calves, hamstrings - everything is sore. I think I'll have to go through another stretch routine in the evening to loosen up all the muscles.
