getting there

while i, once again, did not wake up this morning to run, i'm finally making some progress in finding a steady, even pace for my tempo runs. saturday's effort was right on and i dreaded today's run all day because i was afraid for some reason that i wouldn't be able to find and hold the pace. took it slightly lighter today and aimed for an 8min/mile pace for 7 of the 8 miles on today's schedule.

mile 1 - 8:03, 142
mile 2 - 8:01, 164
mile 3 - 7:52, 171
mile 4 - 7:52, 169
mile 5 - 8:00, 175
mile 6 - 8:09, 178
mile 7 - 7:47, 178
mile 8 - 8:22, 181 *aimed for an 8:30 recovery mile
mile 8.48 - 3:52, 177

i also really need to quit eating so many m&m's but our project admin at work got a bunch of halloween candy and the m&m's are all i can eat so she hoards them for me. not helping!

pm run: 8.48miles, 1:08:02 (8:01 avg pace), avg/max hr (170/191)
