| Quanah's Jog Log:Today was our last 2-mile tempo of the cycle. My goal was to break my PB of 6:59 for both miles.
It was overcast and raining lightly when I started. After a warm-up mile, I sped up to tempo speed and finished mile 2 in 6:33. One down, one to go.
The second tempo mile was harder, but I felt like I still had a chance to break 6:59. With a half-mile to go, I was on pace but getting tired.
When the Garmin showed 500 ft to go, I was right on pace for 6:59. But when I hit 200 ft, it ticked up to 7:00. Two hundred feet to reach or not reach my goal.
My lungs were giving notice that they were doing their best, and my legs felt heavy, but I still had 200 ft to work with.
I was already dreaming of that cool-down mile when the beep sounded the end of the 200 ft. Mile 3, 6:58.
It's a funny thing that goals reached by a hair's breadth somehow seem more fun than those reached by a comfortable margin.
Garmin splits:
11:12, 6:33, 6:58, 12:27

10/6/08 | | Wow Q! Your splits are insane! If you run sub-7 tempo runs what are you're pace goals for speed intervals? Watch out! |

10/6/08 | | Beating 7:00 for a mile is an accomplishment. Two? a lot more than twice the accomplishment. Like Kris said, you may need a faster watch for your speedwork. LOL! |
