I gotta keep the tempo!

I went out for my first real run in a couple days. Sunday I went about .5 miles before I decided to head back due to shin pain. But today I went out not knowing what I would be in store for. I figured if it came down to it, running around the block would not be the worst thing in the world. But if I felt good I might keep going, and perhaps I would even do some speed work.

Well I felt great, and during the early stages of my tempo run, I had to hold myself back. My fastest mile split was exactly 6:00, and I have to say that I am pleased. I also felt NO pain today. But that is not going to stop me from being cautious. Tommorow even if I feel good I am going to take a day off just to make sure that I get plenty of rest. (plus I don't want to ruin myself for my 5k this Friday)

This also reminds me that I finally picked a marathon. I will be running the Twin Cities Marathon up here in Minneapolis where I will be attending graduate school. Yay.
