Wow! 

Met up with die hards Jake, Matt, Fritz, Scott, Andrea and Chad for a tempo run. 4 miles warm up. 7°. Official plan was to run a 10 mile tempo run. I knew I wouldn't be able to hang for 10 so I decided to play it by ear. Here's what happened.

5:22, 5:30, 5:45
Ouch! Circle back for 0.5
5:25, 5:30
Whew. Looking like a 3-2-1 day. Circle back for 0.5.
5:20
"Ok. That's a wrap. Good enough for one day." -Mike
"Hey, you're good for one more, right?" -Jake
"uh, of course!...(after some rest)" -Mike
Circle back for 0.5.
5:29

~3m cool down. 

I'm happy with the workout. <5:30 is still too fast for me to sustain...maybe someday! 

Breakfast at Jake and Andrea's. Thank you!

Great workout! Nothing like a little motivation to go one more hard. Good to see you again!

That was a great workout Mike. That last mile showed a lot of toughness.

Excellent job Mike. Your fitness is improving by leaps and bounds!
