A Little Taste of MOJO

My "tempo" run yesterday was pretty dismal. I did a 3 mile warmup then attempted 4 miles of tempo pace and a 3 mile cool down. I never got into a rhythm and didn't get a single mile even close to my 6:35 goal pace. This morning, I was feeling a little sore but right off the bat I felt comfortable. I did my out and back route and clocked a 35:58 outbound or 7:11 pace. Feeling even better I cranked it up a notch and averaged a 6:43 pace for the inbound 5. I didn't create mile splits but glancing at my watch I clocked a 6:30 mile and a 6:22 mile. I will probably regret it on tomorrow's run, but I needed a good run like this.
