AM:  Amazing how a day of recovery can refresh the legs, mind and body to want to go again.  I knew I wanted to do some tempo during the workout.  I was probably going to be the only one that wanted to do some.  I tried to see if Matt would want to do some but his hamstring being a little tender didn't allow for it today.  Goal was to run steady for the first 5 miles and then at the turn around of the JRT start into some tempo.  Agter few minutes bathroom break and Scott singing the theme song to Rocky I felt I was a go.  I don't like to doing speed or tempo on my own.  I didn't have a watch but the pace was around 5:40's avg for a little over 2 miles and then stopped to get a drink and stretch.  I just did enough until my hamstrings said enough.  I wanted to do at least 3 miles but I guess I didn't have it in me.  the guys caught back up after a few minutes and then we cruised it back in for the rest of the run.  My body and mind are starting to really want to push harder which feels great.  Happy for the improvements occuring...

Great workout Spence and good job at listening to your body. That is key and it is so hard to find that fine line of doing enough but not too much. Looks like you nailed it.

Keep on keeping on!
