Warm Winter Weather

Last night I left work early so I could get home and run before any wet weather rolled in.  I changed in my shorts, yes shorts, and a long sleeve tech shirt.  Then I pulled on my socks, shoes, and reflective vest and hit the pavement.  I had a really good tempo run.  My goal was to keep all 5 miles under 13 minutes/mile.  I met that goal surpassed it!  My laps were split up thusly:
1 12:29
2 12:24
3 12:41
4 12:25
5 12:10
Now if I can just get a tempo run like this to translate into a faster race then I will be all set.

WAA total:
Tuesday 7.0
Week 2 14.83
Total 43.79

    Nice run, Katie. Negative splits to boot after mile 3.

    Wish I could get out in this weather too. Broke 70 today, I’m sure.

    How are you counting your FIRM workouts? Did you check out the weekly update from the WAA folks that Pat sent? Lot’s more mileage for non-run/walk activities.

    Yes, I noticed that and wasn’t sure what to do. What I have been counting as 1 mile would be 2-5 with the calculations in that newsletter. Can we amend our total from last week I wonder?
