Treadmill Tempo Run

Well, I didn't wake up this morning so I ran tonight. I defnitely feel sluggish in the evening. Hopefully I will think about that next time I don't want to wake up! I did a 30 minute tempo run. I started with a short walk and then warmed up for 8 minutes at 6.o mph. My heart rate stayed under 160. Then every minute I increased the speed by 2mph. When I hit 7.6 mph, I stayed there for the rest of the tempo run, which stopped at 24 minutes. My heart rate didn't get into the 180's until 7.0 mph. That's a good sign. I am hoping to stay in the 170s for the first half of Newport. I am hoping that will be at a good pace. Overall, it was a tough run, but it felt great to push it!!
