This is taper week for the Hospital Hill half marathon, so my plan is
to do three low-mileage runs today, Tuesday and Wednesday, then rest
Thursday and Friday. The race is Saturday morning.
So at 6:15
this morning, with the temperature already at 75, I was out for my longest
run of the week: 6.1 miles. Once I got loosened up I decided to elevate
the workout to a tempo run, which I haven't done in at least a couple of
weeks.
After a 10:11 first mile and a 9:32 second, I went 9:01,
8:31, 8:05 and 7:48 for an average pace of 8:50. This was a good
preparatory run for the race because it was a hilly course on a
warm day. We all know HH usually lands on a hot day. The bonus this year might be the weather, though. Right now the
forecast is for early morning temperatures in the middle 50s on
Saturday. If that holds it would be great. -- Rob
